Examkrackers: MCAT Organic Chemistry

I've used Kaplan, Princeton review, and many others - I think Exam Krackers does the best at highlighting and explaining the important concepts. The others will overwhelm you with unnecessary detail, and I didn't like the way they were set up. Using exam krackers, my score jumped 7 points. Highly recommended. Ryan

If you did well in organic chem 1 and 2, then this book is great for a quick review. the best part is you can even go through it quickly.

Top notch book that makes learning the Organic section of the MCAT as painless as possible. All the relevant information without the unnecessary "jibber-jabber". This book will definately get you prepared in the most efficient way possible. The other books (especially the verbal book) also come highly reccommended.

I read this book twice now, and I think this book really helps alot. Other than those kaplan books which tells you straight out facts in a very boring way, EK orgo gives you good insight to understand the material fast. I think this books is a great book, but if you want 15 on the bs section, you should also look at other books like kaplan or princeton for more practice.

Like almost every other examkrackers books this book gets straight to the point. It is a great review for the MCAT organic section which seems to be undergoing constant revisions by the AAMC. I am happy to say that examkrackers tries to keep up with the changes and accurately reflects them. This is in contrast to a lot of the other books put out by Kaplan and The Princeton Review who republishes the same edition with a new cover and that's it. The contents barely change. Just take a look at any Kaplan organic review book and you'll know what I mean. Organic has always been my strong suit and I can easily deduce a lot of the reactions. But I needed to touch up on isomerism which is a critical portion of the MCAT for which I used this book. The book is straightforward...has 4 chapters (100 pages) with four 30 minute exams and practice questions pertaining to each section in between. For those who live by flash card or index cards...this book comes with a bunch of them which covers everything from IR specs to the pinacol rearrangement. Highly recommended.
