These Amazon reviews are pretty hit or miss. Despite this, I found the most success with this package. I was using Kaplan originally. But I found their material to be way too convoluted and not directed to the essential things that needed to be learned. Perfect example: EK flat out tells you what formulas you will either need to know or disregard for the MCAT. Kaplan throws all of the material at you without being specific about what is critical to know. Furthermore, even in their most recent editions, Kaplan books are STILL including material that hasn't been tested on the MCAT for over five years. Huge waste of time. EK is completely up to date. I don't honestly feel that I learned anything that I didn't need to know with EK. Kaplan, on the other hand, gave me an overwhelming amount of unnecessary information.
The thing about this set is that you can use the books in junction with the 1001 Question series that they sell. I recommend the Chemistry and Physics for sure. I didn't use the biology, as I heard that there were some inaccuracies here and there. Then again, biological sciences was my worst section so maybe I should have.
The reason I recommend this all so strongly is because it makes for a very easy and coherent study strategy to follow. It actually makes the studying enjoyable because you are tangibly rewarded as you make your way through the 1001 Questions and correctly answer the problems.
Pretty simple:
I would start to read a chapter in the appropriate section (i.e. physics - mirrors and lenses). Then, after reading a few subsections of the chapter, I would go to the 1001 Physics Questions book and just do all of the problems up to that point. The material from the lecture books follow the same order as the questions in the 1001 Q's books.
