The Gold Standard MCAT 2007 by Brett Ferdinand (2007, Paperback)

Here is my review of The Gold Standard: excellent science teaching/review, only pertinent information, below average verbal section (simply not in depth enough), very good writing sample advice/review, three very realistic challenging practice exams. I would have given the book 4 and 1/2 stars but it wasn't a choice.

How does it compare to the others? Kaplan and Princeton also have excellent science review books but they only have one full length practice exam. You can't go wrong with Examkrackers but they are long so I stuck to their Audio Osmosis CDs which were very helpful. I supplemented this with the mcat science videos from mcat-prep.

And finally, of course, I took all the aamc past tests and I went over them with a fine tooth comb. There are now Gold Standard MCAT CBTs for pretty realistic extra practice. All I can say is I'm glad it's over and I hope that you kick some mcat butt too!
