Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - good
I received the product very quickly. It was tough to find a GRE book for the biochemistry subject test because there are few out there. Since there are no biochem test prep books to compare this to, I'd have to give this one a thumbs up for its straight to the point style.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - NOT very professional
I found many typos in this book - the carbon atom has 5 covalent bonds sticking out in the diagram, the math derivation seems not coherent, etc.

I am a little disappointed since the book was written by two PhDs.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Will waste your time
I have only read the first five pages and it has obvious critical errors. I will have to abandon it for fear of learning more mis-information.

This book has probably never been edited by a scientist.

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Don't rely on this book alone for studying.
About the only review book I could find for the BCMB GRE. I found the review book was ok to use as an outline but not reliable as a stand-alone to study for the test.

PROS:
- Useful as a general outline
- Useful methodology review section, particularly if you have not taken a lab course recently, same goes for the related practice exam questions
- Good starting point for in-depth review with the cell and molecular biology sections.

CONS:
- DOES NOT ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Only one out there, but you don't need it
Like others who have reviewed this book, I bought it because it's the only one out there. The other books are just practice tests. This book alone did not adequately prepare me for the biochem subject test. What it did do is provide a guideline to things I needed to review in depth using my own text books from college. Also, the practice test in the back of the books was far easier than the practice tests from the GRE website, which were more in line with the real test. I would not purchase it ...
