Examkrackers PCAT? or MCAT?

I bought the EK MCAT. It's pretty good and does a good job of covering the whole course (i'm using it for gen chem and orgo). I suspect that there will be little difference (- typos) from a '06 and '07 version.

There is no PCAT version of the Examkrackers study guide. I suggested it to those EK guys during Test Prep Week, and they said they would look into it in the future.🙂

For typos, the only things that are corrected are typos and errors to some problems. A person could request an errata from them if you wanted to buy 5th edition.

I agree that the chem study guides are good for PCAT study. The biology guide is overkill, but still useful. The 1001 Questions series is great except for biology.

For anyone interested the 2008-2009 edition of Kaplan's PCAT study guide just came out on 5/24/07. I ordered it about a week ago and plan on using it to study for the tests coming up in August.

All those books just have 1001 questions with answer explanations and a very brief guide. The EK writers stress that these books for supposed to be used for practice and not for teaching. They, and I, suggest that you study the material first and then do the problems to diagnose the areas you overlooked and/or haven't grasped yet.
