 The most efficent way to REVIEW May 18, 2007

These disks will help you greatly if you are a person who has a decent understanding of the material, but needs a review of the important stuff. The biology section is particularly helpful, since much of the biology tested is learned through memorization. The chemistry parts are also helpful, but you have to keep in mind that most people will need other references to help with the visual aspects of the subjects.
All you need for the PCAT are these disks and a book that reviews these subjects to use a reference/supplementation. I used Audiolearn and older Kaplan MCAT review books and did pretty well: 99% composite, or a score of 472 when you add up the 5 sections. I listened to these disks whenever I was driving, and only referenced the books for test questions and to look up specific questions that I had. I found that listening to the material was much more efficient than reading the stuff myself, especially since it's not wise to read while driving.
as a revision it is rather than excellent!! February 27, 2007

salam! this product is brilliant and exciting.. but not for every body..why?? becuase it is good as a review or revision not to start studying all over from the zero.becoz it remindO u with stuff u know but with other aspects.
in general the voice is rather clear and it is not boring at all exactly with the biology sections. all u need is to relax and listen for some days and take organs digrams and concentrate with the lesson for other days and revise ur informations for the last days. eventually, the test on the cd is cool though it has some disadvantages.. whenever u answer incorrectly the programe doesnot tell u which question is incorrect and what is the correct answer.
finally, i advise u to buy it as a revision and beside a text book with answerd qs. with details.

Preparing for the PCAT can be a daunting task. These tapes can really take the edge off of the stress brought on by Pharmcas, the PCAT, and your grades. I just simply listen to them in my car, while jogging, or while trying to fall asleep, and I feel as though I studied. The only draw back, as far as I can tell, is that they do not tell you how to take the PCAT. What I mean is that they don't offer any problem solving advice. The tapes are strictly an informational review, and I still would study with other materials as well. It may take a couple sessions with each tape to grab up all of the information, but they are worth it!

I used these CDs to help me review for the November and January PCAT. As others have said the biology section is the most valuable. The chemistry is less so but that's the nature of the test. Hearing someone define concepts in chemistry isn't going to help you on the test except as a way to refresh your memory of things you might have forgotten. In addition to the CDs, I used the Kaplan Online review course. They didn't have a classroom session in my area. The Kaplan Review was worth it's weight in gold. Other review books will just list the subjects that are on the test. The kaplan material is like a text book with online classroom sessions and quizzes. The CDs are an excellent supplement to your other review materials if you'll use them. I only listened to them in my car. I don't think they would be as effective listening at home. They wouldn't be able to keep my attention as well. I got in the 92nd precentile on the January test.

I thought these taps would be an easy way out. But how is hearing a guy ramble off facts about biology and chem going to help you do the math, chem, and vocab problems. These tapes did not help me at all. If you struggle with Biology this tapes would be great but otherwise they are no help. ...
