" 3.0 out of 5 stars Much less than what I hoped for, but still essential, August 21, 2009
By wahoo mike (Frederick, MD) - See all my reviews
I expected this book to be well-organized and very helpful. It is fairly thick and certainly contains some very good review material in it. Especially biology and chemistry material. However, there are very brief descriptions on many concepts that require more in-depth explanations. A lot of the chemistry equations weren't explained too well, for instance. As I understand that only so much material can fit in one book, this is acceptable.
What is entirely unacceptable is that many of the questions, both practice Q's and questions in the final exam (a ton in the math portion) have severe typos that cause the questions to be unanswerable. I felt uncomfortable with the severe amount of typos. It made me wonder whether some of the answer key had typos too, which would lead me to misgrade my answers. Also, the answer sheet lacks choice E on all questions on the exam that have choices A-E. This book is completely amateur for these reasons.
Also, the organic chem section is completely lacking. "
