   Berkeley Review and ExamKrackers are excellent examine guides.

   Berkeley Review is very indepth and detailed. Chemistry review book is two books each 300 pages. They cover everything that could possibly be tested.

   ExamKrackers are a shorter review but they also cover the material and it is a strain that people like to examine.

   This answer does a really splendid job of explaining the best books per section of the test. Companies have produced books for every section but each company has in some way figured an expertise in a section.

   Berkeley Review is really excellent for chemistry and physics

   ExamKrackers has a really splendid Biology review book. A lot of people have excellent things to say about the ExamKrackers review book.

   Princeton Review has a really excellent Organic Chemistry section but their book is all one entire comprehensive review.

   I would recommend you also looking at these books at a bookstore or from a friend to see which style of book you are comfortable.

   The Princeton Review questions individual manifold extent question (one or two or three) after each section of learned material within a chapter.

   The Kaplan review book comprehensive does not have questions after each section. Instead they have passages.

   So make sure you look at the books for your own opinion. But I really liked the ExamKrackers and Berkeley Review.

   You could also ExamKrackers from a public library or from torrents or file sharing if you are small on cash.

   Also the 1001 Series by ExamKrackers is a excellent practice of MCAT Style questions without passages. If you get the ExamKrackers books these 1001 question books correspond with the books and this extra practice really helps you get accustomed to approaching problems.

   They are non-passage based questions so don’t just use the 1001 series books.

   I also recommend

   http://www.e-mcat.com and purchasing some AAMC authoritative practice exams.

   Also I recommend at least 10 full length practice mock tests before taking the real test to help get conditioned for the speed of the test and its length which is 5+ hours sitting at a computer.

   Kaplan and Princeton Review along with other companies publish full length exams that are computerized.

   If you can’t examine by yourself I might consider looking at a review course but the review course serves only to provide you with a schedule and you must do all the required work.

   Kaplan has a excellent review course.
