Completely revised and expanded for the current MCAT, the new Barron's MCAT test prep manual provides test takers with an in-depth, easy-to-use science review and a set of often-neglected but critical strategies for test taking that cover timing, test anxiety, scientific problem solving, and critical analysis and reasoning. These strategies have been developed by the book's team of authors based on their many years of hands-on MCAT training experience. The new edition's highlights include:
- Science review chapters that specifically cover test topics as recommended by the AAMC. The concise and clearly written science review is designed to give students an understanding of concepts rather than merely presenting facts for them to memorize. To this end, the review uses frequent examples, practice problems, and diagrams to clarify concepts
- Comprehensive review of the new content areas—Biochemistry, Psychology, and Sociology—as they will be tested on the MCAT
- Practice MCAT tests that have been carefully designed to represent the specific patterns of actual MCAT questions and passages
- A comprehensive, multi-month study plan
BONUS ONLINE PRACTICE TESTS: Students who purchase this book will also get FREE access to two additional full-length online MCAT tests with all questions answered and explained.
