(Update 2011/06/07 - I increased the star rating to three, as I think, in hindsight, one was a bit harsh)
I bought these CDs for my wife, who is studying for the MCAT exam. This, along with hundreds of dollars worth of other assorted books and materials to help her prepare for it. We do not have a lot of money to spend on these materials as we are both university students (well, I just graduated) but we are willing to pay a high price for these items because we consider the benefit that my wife receives from them - a higher MCAT score - very important to our family's future success and a good investment. We feel the high price can be justified.
What I cannot tolerate is having recently discovered a list of numerous factual errors on these CDs, which I have verified myself by listening to them. This would not bother me so much if ExamKrackers had bothered to press a second edition of the CDs to correct these errors (I understand that people make mistakes, which is one of the main reasons for continuing editions of educational materials) or put a paper insert into the current CD set detailing these mistakes. The best they can do is admit to the errors on their website forums as "errata".
Maybe I'm still a little grumpy from spending so much money on numerous studying materials, but I felt the need to write this low-star review and get this information out to others so that intelligent buying decisions can be made by all.
Below is the list of errors. Note that I did not compile this list, but am simply sharing it for the benefit of others.
CD #3 Track 17: The terms 'cohesive' and 'adhesive' are reversed when Jordan says:
"The cohesive forces of water to glass are greater than the adhesive forces of water to water.
