1001 Questions in MCAT Chemistry" provides practice questions in all chemistry topics covered by the MCAT. The questions and explanations are designed to teach the student to think intuitively. Like the MCAT, conceptual thinking is encouraged while lengthy calculations are discouraged. Memorization of basic formulas is required, but usually will not, in itself, provide the fastest method to finding an answer. Questions are conveniently arranged by topic. Question difficulty ranges from easy to very difficult. Questions are formatted exactly like the MCAT. Answers and explanations are provided in the back of the book.

This book really goes over every topic and angle imaginable for questions you'll see on the MCAT. Great for reinforcing knowledge and pointing out weaknesses. I bought the whole 1001 review set and have found them very helpful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Incorrect answers!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 March 2013

I went through 150 problems and kept second guessing the answer on a few until I said wait a minute, let me look up this answer, it can't be right!

The book asks for the electron configuration of Br and it says the answer is

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p5

WRONG!

The correct answer is

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p5 !!!!!!!!!! 4s2 comes before 3d10! Furthermore the correct answer isnt even listed as a possibility!

I'm now afraid if I do anymore I'm going to get answers wrong on the MCAT and every point matters on the MCAT.

I do not recommend this book at all.

Buy this book if you feel that you are weak in certain areas of chemistry.

The most problem-intensive concepts in MCAT Chemistry are solubilities and acid-base reactions. This book will make sure that you know what you're doing when given a Ksp, Ka, Kb, and any other combination. It is far too easy to read the equation for Ksp or Ka and think you know how to do those problems-- often, a student has no idea why equations are the way they are and just plug and chug. The MCAT will burn you if you don't understand why equations work the way they do, especially with solubilities and acid-base.

Great practice problems to test limiting reagents, reaction rates, Le Chatelier's principle, electrolysis. What I did for the MCAT was to study the concepts in chemistry that required problem-solving with this book. Try to skip the conceptuals question-- often, your own chemistry book can you teach concepts better than questions here, which usually operates on your knowledge of miniscule facts. Pay attention to what your instructors say are important-- do not do Vp questions, do not do phase diagrams. Often, the practice problems in your review textbooks is sufficient enough and you do not need to do practice problems for those.

I did all 1001 questions for MCAT Physics THREE TIMES and I understood all those questions. I kept a notebook that detailed explanation for all the problems that stumped me. I went on the message board countless times. And while I knew MCAT Physics backwards and forwards, the amount of work I put in versus the amount of information that I actually needed for the MCAT was around 30%. In other words, doing all the problems meticulously will get you nowhere! You will waste valuable study time. Find your weakness and focus on those. Other things, you should just know without extensive practice.

For example, what is the difference between the second and third row of the periodic table? The third row non-metal elements can have five bonds while the second row can only have four. This is a typical MCAT style question, and while a book like 1001 Chemistry will ask a large number of periodical tendencies question, this will probably be the only one that shows up on the test!

Study smart. Solubility, Acid-Base, and Electrolysis are the big subjects. Know how to do limiting reagents and stoichiometry. Do not do all the problems and master all of them-- that is a waste of time.

Great book of questions! I couldn't afford a class or anything so I had to do my own home study. I used these books to test my knowledge each day. I will say that practicing with these questions helped boost my score by 10 points. I mean, I'm in med school now so I guess that says it all lol. I will stand by Examkrackers because there books are straight to the point & make it fun because learning should be fun! Plus, the little quirky things they add do help in retaining knowledge. In med school, the funny or silly cartoon, acronyms, & sayings are the ones that help you remember things the most so Examkrackers is right on point! I owe you guys everything for helping my MCAT score!

Chemistry is a subject that I definitely needed some review in. I felt this question book was able to help me solidify the basic concepts of chemistry so that I could apply them in a broader context.
