However, with sum of teh questions that i got wrong, the explaniations were perfect in allowing me to understand and review sum of the things that I 4got. Example: What is the hydrogen defeciency of C1204h3Br1- The formula for this problem is (2n+2) - x/2 where is the number of carbons and x is the number of hydrogen OR... more info
It will not prepare you for the MCAT:
It does not deal sufficiently with reactions. The questions are too easy.

I get the feeling this book was put together in a... more info
