A little help please?

[700003]

Now that everyone has started studying, which psyc/soc book seems to be the best? Kaplan or TPR?? I've been using TPR for all my other content, but still need to buy a psych/soc book. And I have no idea which one to buy! I would appreciate any help!

EK

EK is too concise for me at the moment, but I do plan on using that for my final review…any thoughts on what to use for detailed content review in psych/soc? TPR vs Kaplan?

I have the Kaplan texts but I haven't opened them yet (starting Kaplan on-site in a few weeks). My take on the psych/soci is that it will be mostly intuitive applications of the information, but thats just me (social science major, healthcare worker). Truthfully, I don't think heavy duty review for this section will truly be necessary, but again- thats just me.

I have Kaplan and I like it so far. Really easy to read and understand. They have "MCAT Concept Checks" after each section to review the main ideas, and stand-alone questions at the end of each chapter. No passages though.

I have EK, TPR, and Kaplan and like Kaplan the best. TPR is way too dense, IMHO.

Oh, so are you saying that TPR has more detail than required? Or that its content is bad/off-topic?

Yeah. To be fair, I have a very strong background in psychology, but I still think you'd benefit more from understanding concepts vs. knowing every theory out there.
