Where do these text recommendations come from?
These recommendations are directly from the AAMC Content Outline module available on the MCAT Official Prep Hub. All of their text recommendations have been incorporated into our free e-course, with their respective learning objectives listed in parentheses.
Do textbook chapters and AAMC Content Outline match up perfectly?
The Kaplan Books, Princeton Books, AAMC Content Outline texts, and Khan Academy Videos were all produced by different authors. For this reason, there are some chapters in the Kaplan Book or Princeton Book that are not even found in the Khan Academy Videos or AAMC Content Outline and vice versa. For instance, the Kaplan and Princeton Books have chapters that cover certain experimental procedures that the Khan Academy Videos do not cover.
Our goal in matching up the AAMC Content Outline with the lessons was to correlate the content as best as possible while also covering ALL the content from every resource. For this reason, when nothing in the Kaplan Books matched up with one of the video playlists, instead of leaving the reading assignment for Kaplan blank, we inserted material that did not fit in anywhere else (i.e. one of those chapters on an experimental procedure that was not covered by Khan Academy). So, when the assignment doesn’t appear to match up right, please know that this was intentional.
*If you follow the reading assignments outlined, you will finish the entire AAMC Content Outline by the time you finish all 10 content modules.
Do the sections match up perfectly?
If the sections assigned in our eCourse do not match up with the sections contained in your content review book, you may have a different edition. The sections should still match up the large majority of the time, but in the rare instance that they don’t, I’d recommend simply reading sections that do match up and saving the ones that do not for a future lesson.
