So I've enjoyed the Berkeley Review materials so far, for the most part. However, I just don't know what to do about their light and optics chapter. Is it just me, or is this chapter no good? I honestly can't understand the majority of the examples given in the text, along with the diagrams given for those examples. I've tried to read it three times and I just can't wrap my mind around how their sentences read lol. Part of the issue I've noticed, and this applies to other chapters as well, is that they seem to connect topics between subjects. Although this is great to do because that's how the mcat tests, I've noticed that they do this without actually explaining the other topic. For example, there are examples in this chapter where they use the "n" value. It took me forever to realize that this was the index of refraction, and they don't really explain what it means.
I guess I'm just going to watch khan academy videos for this section.

Are there any other chapters in BR that are like this?
