 Rating:  - Will waste your timeI 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:  - 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: - Only one out there, but you don't need itLike 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 ... Read More Rating: - An less than adequate test prepThis book provides a very, very basic review of the major concepts of biochem, cell biology, and molecular biology (i.e. genetics). I found this review helpful, but the detailed questions of the actual exam require a much more detailed review. This prep was also chaulk-full of typos, mistakes, improperly tagged vocab words, and incorrectly drawn chemical structures (texas carbons and nitrogens, double bonds to hydrogen atoms, etc.) that required me to look up the actual structure or correct definition. ... Read More Rating: - Critical Errors- DO NOT BUYThis book is rife with errors and mistakes, an in critical ways. For example, one question, on a fairly basic topic, asked what %age guanines are in a DNA molecule (double-stranded) that contains 20% thymines and 30% purines. Given that guanine is a purine, and adenine is a purine, this implies that the breakdown is as follows: 20% A, 20% T, 10% G, 40% C. This is clearly impossible, as that would not be a stable molecule. Other idiotic errors abound, but I provide that as the absolutely worst ... Read More
