Read the whole thing and come back when you're done. Technically, you aren't allowed to post here until you have finished reading that but since you're 12, we'll let it slide.

Why give these questions to CS grads now if they know they've passed a data structures and algorithms class that should have done the same?

You can say, "well, the class isn't perfectly standardized and even though they may have passed, maybe they didn't do great on the part of the class on graph traversal".

To which I reply, "How is your standardized test any different?"

I'll compare to another standardized test:

> The LSAT is scored on a scale of 120-180. The average score is about 150, but if you're looking to get into one of the top 25 law schools, your score should be well over 160.

Maybe you get a 160 out of 180 on your CS-AT or whatever your standardized test is called, but you bombed all the graph traversal questions. How would the company know this? If graph traversal is important to them, they'll still want to ask about it.

You can come up with an alternative scoring scheme, I guess, but unless this test is both exceedingly thorough, and the results are super granular, companies are still going to ask the technical questions they care about. And they'll probably ask them anyway, to verify you didn't cheat, or only pass your test because you spent six months specifically studying things like this where the entire purpose is to teach as specifically to the test as is possible.

You have to show that it's in the company's best interest to not do the extra few hours of interview work and instead trust the test results, and when you're talking about an investment in the candidate of potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars, I don't see any reason they'd make their interview process any simpler because of this test.

Are these the books that people get? https://www.amazon.com/Complete-7-Book-Subject-Review-2018-2019/dp/1506223958/ref=zg_bs_11693_2/144-2822295-9506565?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=Z3WKNP4AE79EHJCXQ6CE








What seems to be the best way to approach taking on this monstrous task? Are some practice tests better than others? I do plan on covering everything in the books, but I wonder if there is a certain structure that people usually use (for example - doing subjects that they are most familiar or least familiar with first, or doing multiple subjects at once instead of doing all of chemistry, then all of physics, etc)

Can someone find me these MCAT kaplan prep books in PDF version.
