The premise behind 16 mini-mcats was apparently to closely parallel the information covered in the examkrackers prep books, all the while requiring small chunks of time to do so. While they did succeed in doing this, there were some important problems that I encountered as I simultaneously worked through the prep books and supplemented my practice with this workbook.

First. The 'schedule' is suspect. They include an order in which each mcat should be taken to stress the concepts that would have been recently covered if you were working with the examkrackers prep books at the same time, i.e. take practice test 1 after completing ch. 1 in Bio, ch. 1 in inorganic chem, and ch.1 in physics, etc. This really is not a great idea, as what they are trying to, and in my opinion do so faithfully, is replicate the actual content found in mcat passages. Anyone who has actually taken the test could tell you that any given passage stresses multiple concepts, and not just those from ch.1,2,3 of a prep book. This workbook is similar to the actual test, so to fully benefit from the material, you really should start to take these after you have essentially finished your initial prep. While each practice mcat will superficially stress specific concepts covered in the specified chapters, following that schedule will limit the effectiveness of this book.

Second. Expect typos/suspect answers. I did not find this to be a huge problem early on, but towards the second half of the workbook I did encounter some problems. This should be expected for verbal, given the ambiguity of the questions. This should not, however, come up in the science sections, where precision is important.
