    Like other reviews (and already taking the MCAT once) I agree these passages are much harder than what is on the real exam, but if CARs is a weakness of yours and you still have a couple of weeks before the exam, buy this book. BUT if you take the test in like 2 weeks, this book will just scare you and you don't need to crush your confidence before.

    However, I still have 2 months before my exam date and I had the book for 2 weeks, this is what I have noticed. This book has changed the way I approached the passages, and has improved my timing, mainly because of the tips in this book. I realized I was reading the passage way too fast and was not getting the main idea, and when it came to the answers I spent way too much time going back to the passage because I barely read it the first time. Now, I read slowly and thoroughly, and when it comes to the questions I fly through them, hense my timing is better now even though I spend more time on reading. My score has almost doubled already, and I feel so confident because I know the questions on the real exam are not going to as vague.

    So overall, I absolutely recommend this book for those who have plenty of time before the exam and CARs is a weakness. If it is not your weakness, just stick to the AAMC resources, they are the most reliable study tool.

    I've never seen CARS covered this way before. I highly recommend the 101 Passages books to anyone taking the MCAT. They're inexpensive and great at teaching you how the passages will be framed.

    I've taken the MCAT twice and bought the Examkrackers 101 passages for all but psych. I found this book very helpful. With that being said I had a pretty good foundation but needed more practice. I found the passages were similar to the exam. Personally, I struggled with the difficult passages on stuff I've never seen before so I found this useful as I could go through and do the more difficult passages. Reasoning wasn't spot on but pretty good. I feel it's a good buy.

    1.0 out of 5 stars This book is completely unrepresentative of real test questions and utterly unhelpful.
    Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2018

    I bought this book to start my CARS practice which unfortunately was a huge mistake.
    This book seems designed and intended to be purposefully very hard so that test takers will feel more comfortable in the real test, but by doing so, it misses the whole point of the CARS section.
    The questions are ridiculously difficult and rely on outrageous inferences to the point where this book does not at all do its purpose. There are even questions which have NO correct answer which is so exasperating, and the relevant explanation to such questions is something of the following sort: "Choice A is wrong because this and that, Choice B is not quite correct but not so wrong, Choice D is wrong because it is out of scope, Choice D doesn't seem to be the correct answer, but since it's not as wrong as Choice B, the answer is Choice D." This is completely unacceptable. This book will not help you prepare since it will direct your thinking and reasoning to a wrong way entirely out of the scope that the real MCAT requires of you. As a result, if you decided to launch your CARS practice using this book, you will have to re-adjust your thinking when you use AAMC material, and so you would have wasted precious time solving EK passages. The real MCAT CARS passages are less difficult, and the questions are tremendously more manageable as they are more related to the passage and authors' logical argumentations. Moreover, there are types of questions that are found in very low frequency, if ever, in this book, but the same types of such questions are more frequently asked in the real MCAT and in AAMC question packs. This means that this book does not properly expose potential test takers for the different types of questions for the CARS section.
    I highly recommend not buying this book nor using it as a supplement to other resources at all, and definitely do not use this book as a resource to start your CARS practice.

    Personally, the passages were a little tricky, but practice is practice, and the more practice you do, the better you'll get, so you might as well get the book.
