The premise behind 16 mini-mcats was apparently to closely parallel the information covered in the examkrackers prep books, all the while requiring small chunks of time to do so. While they did succeed in doing this, there were some important problems that I encountered as I simultaneously worked through the prep books and supplemented my practice with this workbook.
First. The 'schedule' is suspect. They include an order in which each mcat should be taken to stress the concepts that would have been recently covered if you were working with the examkrackers prep books at the same time, i.e. take practice test 1 after completing ch. 1 in Bio, ch. 1 in inorganic chem, and ch.1 in physics, etc. This really is not a great idea, as what they are trying to, and in my opinion do so faithfully, is replicate the actual content found in mcat passages. Anyone who has actually taken the test could tell you that any given passage stresses multiple concepts, and not just those from ch.1,2,3 of a prep book. This workbook is similar to the actual test, so to fully benefit from the material, you really should start to take these after you have essentially finished your initial prep. While each practice mcat will superficially stress specific concepts covered in the specified chapters, following that schedule will limit the effectiveness of this book.
Second. Expect typos/suspect answers. I did not find this to be a huge problem early on, but towards the second half of the workbook I did encounter some problems. This should be expected for verbal, given the ambiguity of the questions. This should not, however, come up in the science sections, where precision is important. Alas, the only way to know that a mistake has been made is to go on to examkrackers website and pay a $15 fee to be allowed access to the proper forum. Again though, this is not a very big issue with the book.
Third. Don't be disheartened at first. It seems that examkrackers may have tried to elicit a 'shock' response with some of the initial sections. I say this because I found the first three verbal and the first two biological science sections to be inordinately difficult. These were unlike what I had seen on the real deal. Do not be discouraged if this happens to you, as it is not a recurring theme.
So... Is this a good buy? I would say so. I think that the 20 minutes that you get for each section is too much, since each section only has two passages, and sometimes a few stand alones. If you can complete these in 15 min, you will probably be better off for the test. These are inferior to the aamc online tests, and if you really want to know where you stand, then that is the best way to go. Otherwise, the only way to improve on your mcat score is to practice, and this is a pretty good option. Hope this was helpful.

A good book to supplement your other study materials, especially if you use other examkrackers books. The 1 hour format of each mini mcat makes it easy to fit into your study schedule. The only drawback is at times the questions can be overly hard, especially in biology. But a good book none the less.
