Save your money - it is not worth it. All the big secret is a way to take a multiple choice tests and make an educated guesses. Spend 50 minutes with a good q-bank you will see his method is worthless. They meaning the test designers factor this method into the test design. Is that worth the price of the book. I think not - Yea, when I was starting out a year ago - I got his MCAT and USMLE secrets - I wasted my money. But like the man who took off his clothes and jumped into a catus patch - I thought it was a good idea at the time.
You can find methods to do multiple choice tests in a good library. Save your money for review books with question banks (q-banks). You can get good used Kaplan, Lange and other q-banks and Robbins reviews. Also you can download megs notes on how she studied for the Step one. These methods have been followed by many students successfully - are they quick and dirty - no - they take time and structure. Hope this helps.
