I honestly really liked this book compared to other MCAT prep materials. I have used 2013 and 2010 Kaplan materials (just the years I had available) and this was by far the best resource. There are short multiple choice questions every few pages which help to break up the monotony and check for understanding. Each chapter ends with a full-length MCAT-style passage with 4-7 questions regarding the material in that chapter.
Also, I just feel that Princeton Review does an exceptional job making difficult concepts understandable. I definitely had a better grasp on physics after using this book than I ever did with Kaplan or even in university courses. Still not exactly a "fun" read at times, but definitely the best MCAT Prep book with which I have worked. Recommended.

I learned from this book that I am NOT going to medical school.

I've only got through the bio and organic chem review, but that has been quite helpful.
