So just got the MCAT Kaplan prep book and I am bit disappointed as there is not a question set after each unit.In order for me to know whether or not I have understood the material, I fell I need to practice some questions based on the content. I ordered some of the Ek 1001 series, but I haven't received them yet. I was wondering in the books, are the questions randomly arranged or are they arranged based on units or topics in which case I would be able to use it in conjunction with the Kaplan book.

Also are there any MCAT books in which there are question-sets for every unit/topic covered.

Thanks

Members don't see this ad.
 
EK 1001 is arranged by topics; however, they can't replace actual passage practice. Both BR and TPRH Science Workbooks are good sources for practice passages.
 
I second SN2ed's TPR and TBR recommendations. Kaplan material is great to read as a refresher or a review. But by no means is it comprehensive with passages etc.

Passages, passages, passages... practice them.
