TBR is mostly sufficient for the new MCAT, but you're going to need to supplement with another company's biochemistry and psychology/sociology books.

Do you think using TBR+KA videos are enough for the biochem content? I also have my old notes so I was planning on referring to that as well for extra help (i have a nice organized binder).

Yeah, that should be okay. I made an excel sheet matching up relevant TBR and KA videos to my Kaplan books (which I am happy to share), and just about all of the biochem you need is covered by a combo of the two. The only topics you might need to supplement with outside notes are the various metabolic pathways.

Thanks! Just an FYI, TBR has about 2 sections on just metabolic pathways...I'm not sure if I need to know them ALL (seems like an overhaul), but its nice to have that anyway. Also KA videos have some videos on specific pathways as well.

Haha thanks. I made a post an hour or two ago with what I ended up deciding to study with and the schedule I made out of those materials, if you're looking for a more guided version of this.

I bought them secondhand but the TBR books are a combination of 2012/2013, and the EK books are for the new exam.

@mcatjelly : Thanks so much for sharing! This really helped me formulate a feasible study schedule for myself. Much appreciated!!
