![]() ![]() JA: They could have gone into more depth of coverage for some of the more difficult topics in physics, chemistry and the biological sciences. When they err in this, they tend to err on the side of not enough detail. KS: EK tries to give just enough detail to cover what a student will need to know on the MCAT. While our initial impressions may change after we’ve finished reviewing other companies’ prep resources, here are our preliminary thoughts about the weaker areas within EK’s MCAT2015 bundle: What are its weaknesses when it comes to MCAT prep?Įxamkrackers is doing many things extremely well. KS: EK not only shows students how to prioritize the information, but they also go through possible MCAT manipulations of concepts that you could see on the exam. In addition, I think they provide simple, clear explanations of complex topics. It helps to integrate all the relevant information into a “systems” approach (which is a direction all of medical education is headed). Masis Isikbay: I was most impressed by how well EK covered the “systems” in the second biology book. They’re useful tools for mastering new content. Jeffrey Abrams: I like how they use the side panels for important points, and the practice passages at the end of each book as well. In my mind, a picture is worth a thousand (possibly confusing test prep) words.īirju Patel: All of EK’s in-class exams require the reader to apply basic science concepts while interpreting research methods and results in the context of human physiology and medicine. Katherine Seebald: Their use of images and graphs to explain concepts. Parth Kothari: Their ease of readability and how they elevate dry material with color, highlighting, and elucidating illustrations.
