Good detail and great practice questions
I absolutely love these books. I used The Princeton Review for all my AP exams and got 5's so I went ahead and got these to study for the MCAT. They truly never miss with their content. The questions are completely different from that of the AP books which is great because it shows the books are completely rewritten. The questions are very consistent with that of the exam in that they do not focus on memorization but rather have the reader think and problem solve. Two of the books are for the 2nd edition but it doesn't matter to me as I haven't seen any errors in the book yet. The pages are also thick so pens, pencils, and highlighters do not bleed through. The online exams are also great and you can take them as many times as you wish. As with all exams, always look into a secondary source of studying. It's impossible to cover all aspects of an 8 hour exam, but definitely use these books as your main source.

In Depth and Beutiful
What more could you ask for, really?You're studying for the MCAT and you want one simple thing; a resource that will have (nearly) all the necessary information, practice questions along the way, and wonderful illustrations to help with difficult concepts. Free practice exams are just a bonus.This is that, plain and simple. Yes, the Kaplan books are good too, but not my cup of tea. I much prefer the way that PR phases their information, and find it more palatable. Some disagree, and that's ok. The Princeton review tests are hard, don't get me wrong, but well worth the struggle. I have seen my practice test scores increase as I use the books more and more.Ultimately, to those of you just getting started on this journey, I humbly offer some advice; just make a decision and stick with it. No one resource is intrinsically better than the rest, and none will guarantee a better score. The best resource is one that you can and will use, is easy to get through, and offers a way to both track progress and identify weak points. This will help you accomplish these goals, I guarantee it. Consistent effort with this, or any other content review, will be your best chance of success. Good luck, and congrats on making it this far!

Found a Way to Attack the MCAT!
So I first purchased the Kaplan review set. It was okay I liked that it seemed more like workbooks but it did not include the 3 practice tests. Also the Kaplan set, how the books were written did not seem personable like almost bland. Which was a bummer. So I later bought the Princeton set because of the practice test and I actually enjoyed reviewing the material. I started with Psychology since it’s my strength. The writing style was relatable. I felt like I had been stressing because I didn’t have a game plan on how much time I was going to put into studying. However, after about ten pages in I realized OMG this is doable. The book tells you what you need to focus on and how to attack the MCAT. It goes as far as to mention considering how your going to fuel your brain to increase your test taking stamina. To test out foods prior to the test so you will know exactly how your going to feel on test day. I will say the material in the books are not entry level. I just took Chemistry and the material was not in the book. I asked my teacher he said you re building a foundation so just keep that in mind if you think you re going to learn everything from ground up.

My daughter did well on the MCAT.
Bought this for my daughter. She used it to prepare for the MCAT. She liked the multiple practice tests and did well. But, you need to do do the work (i.e. use the book) to get the benefit.

Great study material for the MCAT
Purchased these while studying for my MCAT and was happy how much content and material was provided in the set. Everything came brand new with sealed packaging for me. Even in 2024, these set of books are still a great supplement while preparing for the MCAT! My only complaint is that there are definitely weaker subjects that they could improve upon, like the P/S book. Kaplan books are also considered to be slightly better, but I bought these at a super affordable price so can't complain.Side note: The biology and biochemistry books are 2nd edition while the rest are 3rd edition.

Came as described
The media could not be loaded. Although it’s second hand the books came brand new with no written or scratches. Came just as described.

MCAT Study Material
I used this to study for the MCAT. The format is set up so you read the information like a textbook, but there are questions throughout the text and a quiz section at the end to let you answer practice questions about the content you just reviewed. It also comes with three online practice tests, which I thought were very helpful for learning how to take the test and the format to expect.
