I'm going to take the MCAT in about 12 weeks and need a good source of books for home study. I have been suggested ExamKrackers materials. Any thoughts on how effective this series of MCAT preps books is? Are there suggestions for other brands?

I can't afford to take a class, so what is the best way to home study?

I think which is best is going to depend on what your bringing to the table academically. EK works well if your grades in the preqs were outstanding AND recent (w/i 2 years), and you just need a review. If you actually need to LEARN something and/or your knowledge in those preqs is incredibly old, then I'd suggest TBR.

decidophobia--
I have a set of old (2006-ish) Kaplan MCAT books, flashcards, and ExamKrackers audio CDs (bought the CDs on Ebay, thought they were authentic, but they are really just copies--grr I was mad...) anyway, I would love to pass these resources on to someone else! Maybe if I could just be reimbursed for some of the shipping cost (it's a heavy box with all the books), that would be great. If you are interested, just let me know and I'd be happy to send everything out to you!

Thank you so much! I will get back in touch with you soon if you still have those books!

I loved Exam Krackers! I think they are the best bang for your buck.
