So I plan on retaking my mcat to get a higher score. Do you feel like your books will be the best ones to use or find ones that are more detailed. Heard EK is sometimes low on detail
First, two points. "Low on detail" is a relative concept. I'd say that most other materials - all, really - have an overabundance of information or detail. That makes them good references, perhaps, the way that the Moore's Clinical Anatomy book will be a good reference for you when you do Anatomy in med school, but not exactly a book you will try to master. On the other hand, if you use nothing more than our lecture books, you should do quite well, and if you're lacking anything, it might be some basic points on things that are only reviewed in our books - not further, more esoteric details.
Second, how high do you want to score? If you got a 32 or above, stop. Unless you're aiming to go to one of the few schools that prides itself on having the highest MCAT scoring students in the nation, nobody cares after you've reached that threshold. If you just want to get as high a score as you can and to challenge yourself, then I'd recommend the 1001 series from Examkrackers, as it will give you greater and greater understanding, which is more important than just a lot of facts and calculations. And if you haven't hit 32 yet, you are not making the most of our books. As I tell my students, if you can correctly answer 80% of the problems in our lecture books, explain why the right answer is right and the wrong answer is wrong in those, and teach them to someone else, then you're set and should get no less than a 32. You've mastered the books, more or less. If at that point you want to move on to read other companies' materials or study out of your text books from college, by all means do so. But if you have not gotten to that point, then using any other materials will be a poor use of your time and brain space.
I am always checking out materials that my students use because I want to know how to give them feedback about things they wish to check out. Also, I am always excited to learn more about the MCAT so I can be a better instructor. I have not liked any of the other books out there, at least those from major companies, as they have far too much detail and calculations, and which don't keep things simple and teach for understanding. There was a DVD set of lectures that I did like, but whose name escapes me currently. I believe there's a website called Khan Academy or something similar, which I haven't had a chance to check out. And I believe there's a Wiki page dedicated to giving out free resources to MCAT (and other test) students and teachers, which excited me very much, but I haven't gotten a chance to look that up either. I keep an open mind about other materials, as I taught for Examkrackers because I love their materials, and not vice versa, and so I want us to gain from and incorporate anything else out there that could help our students. It makes it much easier for me to teach for and promote Examkrackers knowing that our materials and methods are head and shoulders above anything else out there that I've seen.
