Summary

Barron's brand-new MCAT manual opens with a detailed overview of this exclusively computer-based test, and follows with a comprehensive set of strategies for apportioning and focusing study time and managing stress. A special section teaches unique strategies for timing, test-taking, reading comprehension, and scientific problem solving for the actual MCAT on test-taking day in order that students achieve their best possible score. All parts of the 4-hour, 20-minute test are explained and analyzed in detail with sample questions. A diagnostic test is provided to help students determine where they most need to focus their study efforts. The subject reviews that follow cover the test's four sections: Physical Sciences, Verbal Reasoning, the two MCAT Essays, and Biological Sciences. A complete section test with answers is presented at the end of each subject review section. Two full-length model MCATs are then presented with answer keys and answer explanations. The manual comes with an enclosed CD-ROM that presents two additional practice MCATs in the computer-based format, thus closely imitating actual test-taking conditions, and offering the added convenience of automatic scoring.
