I was just looking through the organic chemistry section Princeton Review's new "Cracking the MCAT CBT" book... I noticed that there is some material which I learned in O-chem that is not in book, such as Diels-Alder reactions, epoxides, or nucleophilic aromatic substitutions - all stuff we spent a lot of time on. Does this mean that it is very unlikely that this will be on the MCAT? After all, Princeton Review is the "most comprehensive prep course in the nation".

I wouldn't dare say one way or the other.
They have some info about this coming MCAT exam on their web site:

Good luck with the test!

Honestly Kaplan is a better MCAT preparation course but I guess it's too late for that. I compared syllabi from both courses when I was deciding and although Princeton Review deems itself comprehensive, it oversimplifies and omits a lot of things. So Kaplan won for me. Just be sure that you have to do a LOT of practice outside of the classroom.

I took the Princeton Review, and was completely happy with my decision. TPR has more hours of instruction, better books, and amazing instructors. Kaplan is for people who rather study on their own, I've heard. Good luck :)

The MCAT is always changing and just because there test takers didn't catch a question about Diels-Alder reactions doesn't mean it ain't there.
Nothing beats actually knowing the subject.
