It seems kindof cheesy at first, and Bryson's writing style can be a little precious. (Although always easy to read, and I certainly never felt bogged down in this book; in fact, I finished the whole thing in a weekend.) But I read it toward the...

20% of the book is about the exciting universe history and mysteries.
80% is about the biography of people who helped unfold these mysteries.


I would have liked the book if the proportions were reversed.

The book was an entertaining read. It briefly touches on just about every subject. The only real thing that isn't that great is that it will go through several historical figures very quickly leaving you with a lot of information to digest. Later,...

The book had a lot of concepts that really helped with my learning of physio throughout the course and later with prepping for the physio shelf exam. My only beef with the content was with the impertinent discussions of molecular similarities...

Use it at the beginning, while you don't know too many things. Otherwise it may seem too easy. Still it's a good book and before going to any review book, you should study this one.

I just bought this set. I graduated in 2005 with a major in biology. The information that is in here is correct, but it doesnt have all the information needed! Also there are numerous typing errors and in particular, the questions that are asked...

This book is worth the price! It gives you a lot of material to work with. I studied these the second time I took the MCAT for a period of 4-5 weeks. After which I took my old Princeton exams, I aced them without even touching my old Princeton...

LSATs are hard!!!!! This book was great to practice with. I wrote all over it and really feel that I have a greater understanding of what is expected of me. There is only one full test in this booklet and for me, it is much better than having 10...

book is pretty helpful...the questions seem fairly easy, though. this is probably because my o-chem professors ROCK and my class has been quite rigorous...the mcat o-chem questions seem easy because I've had such a good o-chem education. the...

It does not deal sufficiently with reactions. The questions are too easy. I don't have a problem with the questions being in discrete forms since one needs solid understanding of the materials (through discrete questions) before being able to...

This book by Kaplan is the most comprehensive PCAT review book out there. It includes a complete review of the Math, Biology, and Chemistry. There are plenty of sample questions for you to work on. It has a smart PCAT diagnostic test in the...

no real difference between this and previous edition (2005). The review section is excellent for those who have been out of school a few years and need a broad review in chemistry, math, and biology. The review questions are obscure, fraught with...

At first I was going to borrow a co-workers copy of this book to save myself the money. After using it for a few weeks I went ahead and bought my own copy. This is an excellent reference manual, not just for taking the PE, but also for work....

I would be embarrassed to put my name on this book. The layout of the book is completely out of order, who starts an engineering review with Fluids and doesn't cover the very basics of Statics until section 43? I understand that this is not a...

The book is excellent, but the physical quality of the bound text is not good. I bought the 11th edition. Admittedly, it was used; but it was in excellent shape. Almost immediately the pages began falling out. Eventually they fell out in clumps....

The book is very straight forward and provides a lot of good techniques to take the GMAT. It's a good buy.

I am certain it will increase your verbal score, and I just can't handle any more competition for b-school!!!

Please buy the Kaplan book instead!

Thanks

This prep book is amazing. I've tried all the other companies and Princeton Review writes as though the people who are purchasing the book do in fact need help in math. I'm taking several subject tests and by far studying for math is more fun...

I'm giving this book two stars because the actual review material was amazing, and really helped me understand math.

However, this book has many errors. Most of the errors I remember were in the chapter with the answers to the drills...
