The book also contains a brief discussion on math techniques that you should use when taking the MCAT, such as rounding, graphs, and proportions. Three 30 minute verbal exams are included in the back of the book. It is recomended that you purchase more verbal exams with which to practice. Customer Reviews: Showing reviews 1-5 of 17 1 2 3 4 Next » Good approach for tackling verbal reasoning   January 6, 2009 A. Stewart MCAT Verbal Reasoning & Mathematical techniques provides the reader with key insight into deciphering verbal reasoning passage questions. It breaks down the seemingly complex tasks to reveal possible interventions for vast improvement. A fairly short book, the ideas presented are designed to/and only work if the exercises are practised daily with meticulous effort. In saying this, ideally it should be purchased in conjunction with MCAT 101 passages in MCAT to ensure adequate retention of the appropriate skills. Its best asset is that it builds on what the reader has already aqcuired in life, eventually fine tuning certain areas to cater for the challenging questions of the MCAT verbal reasoning section. Great little book!   May 9, 2008 C. Stewart (Atlanta, GA) This is a small book that is a great asset to anyone taking the MCAT. I took Kaplan and the strategies in this book is better than any Kaplan verbal strategy. Not good for everybody   April 12, 2008 Grace G. Choi (Berkeley, CA USA) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I bought this book because I had heard such good reviews about it from practically everyone that's used it, and I am now the first person I know to discourage the use of this book. The techniques that they offer are really basic reading techniques that anyone can pick up from a typical college English course (although EK writers claim otherwise). While they assert that their methods are different from other prep-course books intended solely to market rather than to raise your scores (which may be true), they are not all that different from another prep-course book that I'm using. I actually found that the techniques from prep-course book were more helpful. In fact, using only EK techniques and nothing else gave me a score lower than the one I got when I first started prepping for MCATs. The book should at most be worth $5- the content is so sparse and basic that i can probably list the techniques offered by this company in a paragraph or so. If you can borrow this book from a friend or buy it for $5 or less, by all means do so and use it as a supplement- that is, if you are already scoring fairly well on the verbal section. For others like me, it may be detrimental to use this book even if you can get it for free, because your score will actually go down. It works   February 28, 2008 illini08 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I tried using the strategies of another large test prep company (the one I work for now, actually) and the best I could do after 3 months was a 9. After 2 weeks with this book, I was regularly getting an 11, and that's what I got on the MCAT. If I had just picked up this book earlier, I probably would've gotten 12+. Bottom line: If you're taking a TPR/Kaplan course right now, forget what your verbal teacher says and just go by this book. (About me: Current MCAT Instructor, 3 Med school acceptances, 35 MCAT A Very Nice Guide   January 11, 2008 LEGO (Marin County, CA) This is a very good book when you want to start working on the MCAT's verbal section. However, it does not have enough passages to practice. Showing reviews 1-5 of 17 1 2 3 4 Next » Advertisement
