So I already feel like the MCAT was a year ago but I still think that it went well and that I was considerably more prepared with John than I would have been without his help or with another program. Given the relatively short period of time that I dedicated to the test I am very satisfied with the results. While I know that I could have done better had I spent more than roughly 3 1/2 solid weeks preparing for the test, the end result was still better than I hoped. John's verbal intensive class presents the framework and content of the verbal section in a much more comprehensible manner than other systems or prep classes. Given the passage dense nature of the MCAT, it follows that your scores in the other sections will benefit from his methods as well. Everyone has different methods of studying and John's style caters to everyone. People see this test in different ways, and in my opinion this is not a knowledge based exam. While a strong foundation is really helpful, I found that studying details was a waste of time. Maybe this was more so because of the restricted time line in which I studied. I had my masters program to start, and there is no way i could do both the test and the program at the same time. John was right to teach that the 'difficult' passages can all be broken down and all the answers can be extracted from the information provided. In very few instances if at all was elaborate detail required to answer any questions.

Know the trends and the basics, everything else will follow. I don't think the MCAT is going to test the exceptions to the rules. It's too tedious. Focus on what John says is important and you'll be fine. John's lectures include everything you need to score well.
