Barron's New MCAT with CD-ROM

Book excerpt: Completely revised and expanded for the 2015 MCAT, Barron's New MCAT test prep manual with enclosed CD-ROM 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: Expanded science review chapters that specifically cover test topics as recommended by the AAMC and are designed to give students an understanding of concepts rather than merely presenting facts for them to memorize. Comprehensive review of the new content areas—Biochemistry, Psychology, and Sociology—as they will be tested on the new 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 Barron’s New MCAT was reviewed for authenticity of detail by an advisory team of current premed students at schools across the country. The CD-ROM enclosed with the book presents two additional practice MCATs specially designed to capture the underlying patterns of the actual MCAT.
