Hi everyone,
This is my first time on SDN. I recently started MCAT preparation and was set on Next Step after reading many positive reviews about it. However, after purchasing the 1600 dollar package I noticed that the content is utterly missing. Before purchasing this I asked the customer service people if this would essentially teach me the material agian because I dont remember much of it. I am looking for a MCAT review module that will provide learning content. I dont have any interest in practice exams until I can review the materiel first but the Next Step module seems to be almost all exams and very little learning content. There is a content video section but this seems anemic in its content because there is about 5 hours of Psych content, this makes does not make much sense because the entire subject of psychology cannot be covered in five hours. They also sent me some ebooks, which seemed very supportive and under effort because anyone could look up a book or purchase this, I was paying for course videos or slides. Here is my question..
I dont want to read from a test book, this simply hasnt been how I learned throughout my education, I learn best from slides, not endless passages, as do the majority of people. I graduated with honors form my school and took plenty of biochemistry, physiology and other science courses, virtually all were taught with course slides and rarely if ever was there a book given since the school is aware that the majority of people learn more efficiency by seeing images with diagrams rather than reading long pages of over descriptive wording. I am looking for a MCAT review module that has this. I need something with actual slides, and where the company wont simply throw a book at me for 1600 dollars and say good luck. I appreciate the feedback.
Additionally, I should mention that I also called Next Step customer service and asked them these questions, the lady who I spoke to seemed to have little to no understanding about the product that she was there to support customers on, so since they themselves dont seem to know how to advise customers I'm relying on some feedback from fellow students. Thanks alot guys and girls.
