Before what we know as MCAT today, the exam from 1928 included reading and comprehension, scientific comprehension, and logic. In 1946, it consisted mainly of an “understanding of modern society,” quantitative skills, science knowledge, and verbal skills. This review book is for last-minute preparation and not for those with no base knowledge before the examination, meaning it cannot stand alone. Then, in 2007 the exam shifted from a paper and pencil test to a computer-based test. Its four sections included biological science, physical science, verbal reasoning, and writing.The most recent change in the MCAT happened in 2015, wherein psychological, social, and biological foundations of behavior replaced the writing sample section of the exam. Apart from online practice tests, there are also hundreds of practice questions (about 350) along with how the concepts can be understood and how the problem can be solved. The vast number of items, along with diagrams, graphs, and colored 3-D illustrations, makes one focus on pertinent information. This book is not for beginners because it focuses on subjects and detailed explanations and content. Here is what I think are its pros and cons. Pros
