Great book...must have :) 
2008-07-01
I have to admit that I am not a fan when it comes to the Examkracker series, however, this verbal book is an exception. I was able to raise my score from a 7 to 11 on the mcat over the course of 5 wks and that is pretty cool! Prep companies will teach you the whole thing with underlining and stuff but honestly, ont he actual test, you'll see that the only way to score above a 10 is to finish the entire test and that's what examkracker teaches you to do for this section. However, i have to say that the one thing i am disappointed by is the fact that this book does not have the variety that mcat has. For instance, the mcat verbal is broken down into 3 sections, history, social sciences, or literature. This book does not have enough literature which is actually one of the hardest sections to do. I would strongly recommend this book for studying cause it does amazing things :)

This book was quite helpful in preparing for the MCAT. The passages are similar in length and difficulty. The questions help prepare one for what type of questions will be asked on the MCAT.
Examkracker verbal 101 passasges review 
2008-04-12
Since the MCAT changed from an 8 hour exam to a 5 hour exam, this book has lost its relevance. It is not that helpful anymore because it does not reflect the AAMCAS structure or question type. It is far too difficult and irrelevant. They need to come up with a newer version where the verbal tests are 40 minutes each, the passages are shorter, and the questions at par with the real test.
next edition? 2008-03-27
does anyone know if the next edition will be out any time soon? Or should I just get this one (pub 2002) for my test in may?
Thanks
One of the BEST VR books by far! 2008-01-19
This is a great book with multiple timed exams that will help you improve your verbal score by at least 3-4 points. It helped me immensely. Many people think they do not need to study for verbal and then are shocked how they don't have enough time to complete a section and they generally choose incorrect answers. You don't want that to be you! Buy this book -- it really is amazing :)
If you can't afford it here, look on craigslist!
