An Excellent Book!.......2000-04-07

An Excellent Book For All The Managers In Every Organisation....... A Must Read

Amazon.com

If you're up to medical school, you will already have surmounted substantial scholastic challenges and accomplished considerable scholastic success; you're no stranger to concepts such as hard work, study, and competition. It's not a matter of whether to review for the MCATs, but rather how to study and with which materials.

Kaplan has created the top MCAT course. They know which material needs to be reviewed, and they know the strategies that help you take the Medical College Admission Test most effectively. The MCAT requires that you be well versed in biology and basic chemistry, and, toward that end, Kaplan's review includes refresher chapters in embryology, homeostasis, and molecular genetics, as well as thermochemistry, atomic structure, and the gas phase. The organic chemistry chapter goes over everything from nomenclature to spectroscopy, while the chapter on physics covers magnetism, Newtonian mechanics, and nuclear phenomena.

The MCAT tests more, however, than your knowledge base. Medical schools can look at your transcripts if they want to know how you did in organic chemistry. The schools want to know how well you have integrated what you learned, and how well you can apply that knowledge. The MCAT tests cognitive skills such as reading comprehension, data analysis, critical reasoning, and writing ability, so Kaplan's chapters on verbal reasoning and essay writing are every bit as important as your comprehension of the endocrine system.

With answers and explanations in each science review chapter, a full-length practice MCAT with answers and explanations, and a CD-ROM that provides a timed practice test, detailed scoring analysis, and a personalized performance prep, Kaplan's MCAT review text will help you perform well, demonstrate what you've learned effectively, and continue on toward your goal. --Stephanie Gold

Bad Choice for MCAT.......2005-11-13

This book looks very thorough and perfect for MCAT studies but do not be fooled by the looks. If you want to get higher scores, do use Kaplan material or classes. There are many reasons for this.

I am taking my MCAT in April 2006 and I bought this book. I compared it with the 1997 edition and surprisingly everything is same except the questions after each chapter. The material in this book is just recycled and not updated.

The material is too vague and too easy compared to the actual test. MCAT tests your critical thinking about the subjects and its applications but the examples and problems in the book are very primitive. The material is insufficient and not thorough.

The classes do not help a lot. My friend, Sandip, took this Kaplan MCAT prep class last year and he regretted it. He told me the practice exam are not comparable to the real test. The real test is much harder. They also do not have enough classes.

You should enquire about the class and the book you are using for MCAT with your professors, your classmates, friends and colleagues. You should take Princeton Review class for organized studying and practice exams similar to real MCAT. I also recommend the Exam-crackers. Practice as many sample tests as you can.

Good Luck for you MCATs!

Great review, don't get discouraged with the practice tests.......2005-05-23

I did very well on the MCATs, and I attribute a large degree of my success to this review book. While it's important to have a solid base from your classes already, this book will make sure you know every topic covered on the MCATs, including areas my classes had left out (e.g. optics in the physical science section). It covers all sections well, includes test strategies and practice problems/essays, and if you take the time to thoroughly study the book, it will pay off. My only warning is that the practice tests and problems are deliberately more difficult than the MCAT so Kaplan can claim to have improved your score by a vast number of points. For example, they make the math deliberately time-consuming to slow you down (there was no long division on the real MCAT!). I scored a full 7 points higher on the actual MCAT than on the Kaplan test, so don't stress if you're not scoring how you'd like.

Don't be ripped off please!!.......2005-02-19

The best advice i can give any future pre-meds is to listen to this review. Kaplan is the worst mcat prep out there. First, they recyle their materials every year so it's the same thing never updated despite what they say. Their science is just all thrown in there without telling you what is imperative knowledge. Their verbal practice is horrible and not accurate of the real thing. Also, stay away from their class and if you really need to pick a prep course go with Princeton Review they give you 3x as many classes. Also i would recoomend Examkrackers to anyone studying for the MCAT. It really is the best and you will not be sorry. Stay away from kaplan please . i just luckily got Examkrackers and it made all the difference 11 P, 11 V, 11 B. Trust me go with examkrackers and if you have to take a course cause your like that go with Princeton Review. You won't be sorry.

You need more than just this book!.......2004-06-25

I recommend that you buy a used copy of this book, even if it an older edition, I've heard they don't change that much from one year to the next (but don't go too old). The reason being because you should determine your weak area(s) and purchase the Examcrackers book specific for that subject. Whatever you do STUDY!!! Don't do what I did and just go take it, it ripped me up one side and down the other! I'm taking it again in August. I got the Examcrackers Verbal Reasoning to go along with this one.

Proceed with Caution.......2004-04-30

Kaplan is like a rapist in a bar looking for a naive girl who needs a ride home. They will tell you that they help people improve their MCAT score by an average of 8 points by enrolling in their program. A little thought can help one realize however, that this is far from the truth. In fact they have no ideal about how writting is graded on the MCAT or what sophisticated biology material looks like because they know that they can sell the old stuff and make the same ammount of money. They forget to tell you that an added pressure of 1200 spent dollars sits on your shoulders as you are taking an exam where PRESSURE AND STRESS DETERMINE ALL. Needless to say, real statistics show that Kaplan hinders more than it helps. About 85% of currently enrolled medical student's IQ was reflected in their choice to have not used Kaplan. Try this out for your self. Ask around. It is true. Proceed with caution before purchasing anything from this company!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Book Description

A moving tale of love and forgiveness by bestselling author Barbara Delinsky.

When she was just seventeen, Marni Lange loved Brian Webster with a consuming passion. Then a tragic accident tore them apart. Brian's broken body mended, but he never forgave himself for the accident that killed Marni's brother. Marni, her world equally shattered, was forced to choose between honoring her powerful, wealthy family . . . and the man she loved.

Now, fourteen years later, Marni is a successful businesswoman about to be profiled by a world-famous photographer . . . Brian Webster. Suddenly they find themselves face-to-face with the past that has haunted them. As a teenager, Marni couldn't defy her family. But now she's a formidable woman in her own right, willing to fight to hold on to what matters most: her family, her legacy and a second chance at love.

This review refers to the audiobook.......2006-12-26

This was a nice, fast paced story of reconciliation, healing and forgiveness. The meant-to-be type of romance between soulmates appeals to my hopelessly romantic heart, and I especially like the mature way Marnie stood up against her parent's controlling manipulativeness, leaving the door open for acceptance and a loving resolution.

Highly enjoyable read.......2003-09-08

Once I started reading this book, I found it hard to put down. Delinsky uses a great mix of romance, drama and even a bit of comedy. The main characters had interesting careers (one a corporate CEO and the other a famous photographer) and a tragically intertwined past. I like how Marni stands up to her father when she realizes Brian is the thing she wants even more than her powerful job running the family business - which she was basically pushed into after the tragic death of her brother, in an accident that left Brian severely wounded. Love conquers all in this story and it brings a smile to my heart.

I had a hard time relating to the characters.......2002-12-05

The books overall story is great but I had a hard time getting lost in the characters. I find that many of Delinskys books leave you a little distanced from the characters. I empathized with the characters, but it didn't hold my interest as would other novels I have read. It reminds me of jumping in the shower before taking my clothes off.. I like my books to slowly envelope my mind and take over. This did not do that.

great!.......2001-09-13

the book was really thoughtful, i couldn't help crying since i was so touched

siziling.......2000-03-27

I have just finished reading this book for the fourth time. It is wonderfull. It has sold me on Barbara Delinsky. She is a wonderful writer who has made a wonderful plot.

Three super books in ONE!.......2002-09-20

Three powerhouse writers Anne Stuart, Elizabeth Lowell and Barbara Delinksy with three full size novels in one!! This is how reprints should be done!!!

Anne Stuart the Queen of the blacksoul, blackhearted bad boys we loves, gives a change of pace with a smiling, kinder-gentler hero in Chain of Love. Cathy Whiteheart was barely pulling out of the deep depression after an abusive relationship, so her sister drags her on board aa yacht for a day in the sun. What she did not count on was Sin - Sinclair McDonald the owner of the boat being handsome, and pure male. He is imposing, terrifying and so bloody attractive that he send conflicting emotions running wild in a woman that has been hiding for life.
Sin is more than just sexy, he is funny and kind...something she is not used to in a man. These characters are warm, real and easy to love.

The dynamite Lowell gives us one of her best in Granite Man - the rock em - sockem Cowboy hero with a chip on his shoulder and a past bearing down on him. But is does not stop Mariah Mackenzie was slipping past his defences.

The Third is Delinsky's First, Best and Only - A CEO Marnie Lang meets with her first and best lover Drain Webster, could they make it work this time around? The Character captive your heart.

I love it when they reprint these books you might have missed first time around, but show respect to the readers and no try to push them off as individual books at big book prices.
