 Examkrackers McAt Biology (Examkrackers) - Low Price Comparisons
The Biological Sciences segment of the MCAT contains the material that is least likely to have been comprehensively covered by the coursework of a typical undergraduate.
While the chemistry and physics (and organic chemistry) elements of the test are all fairly similar to university syllabi, the broad sweep of MCAT's biology topics (biochemistry to anatomy, and selections from everything in between) makes it unlikely that any one or two courses could cover them all.
In my eyes, some of the MCAT books out there are doing nothing more than rewriting the bio textbook I used in college - which I have anyhow.

 Dispelling the Myths about the MCAT and Medical School Admissions
FACT: Nearly 50% of all MCAT test takers sit for the MCAT a second time due to inadequate preparation the first time, and many of those people are doing just fine in their science courses.
Medical school admissions officers actually weight the Verbal Reasoning section the heaviest of the entire MCAT, because they view it as a measure of a student's ability to learn and communicate.
If your MCAT scores are lower, you'll most likely need a higher GPA and a more substantial clinical/research record to compensate.
