I could really use some input here.

My test is on June 30th. I've read FA 3 times, RR 2 times. My long term memory isn't that great at all, so I could pick up a ton of stuff if I read RR again, probably.

But, I have some BRS books (Molecular Bio, Biochem, Anatomy, Microbiology and Immunology) that I got from a buddy of mine.

I've read the first 150 pages in the Molecular Bio and Biochemistry book. I'm pretty familiar with the subject, so this book has been nice to solidify some concepts and add a few extra details in there.

I don't know if this is smart, though. Should I just keep pounding FA and RR into my head, or should I keep reading these? I just feel like I may be gaining some low yield little factoids here and there, and while I am doing that I may be losing some High Yield stuff that I haven't looked at in a while.

Should I ditch the BRS books and go to FA? (I've actually read BRS Phys already, just finished it a few days ago).

Or, I coud spend the next few days doing the BRS books. Then ,with 2 weeks left I could hit RR first (probably margin notes and tables), and then FA at the end. (I'm doing 100 UW questions a day as well).

Any opinions?
 
Go thru RR and then FA for 4 days straight until you cram them both. Dont move to too many sources.
 
do not even think about touching those BRS books. RR and FA will get you sooooo much farther (further?). Those aren't even the good ones. The only BRS book I would consider this late is BRS Phys. and I still wouldn't really recommend that unless you feel weak in phys. BRS Anatomy is the #1 worst possible way I could ever imagine spending my time. That book is a piece of crap. I wish I had my 30 dollars back from first year. The only bigger waste of time would be reading about brown recluse spiders and coral snakes, oh wait thats what I'm doing right now...
 
Thanks for your replies everybody.

I guess I've gotten a little too worried when I've read about people who just took the exam and said there were weird molecular biology and anatomy questions on there. It made me whip out the BRS books.

Glad to hear some feedback. I'll put those babies away and focus on the HY stuff (RR, FA, UW). If I miss a few detailed anatomy questions I can live with that. If I miss a ton of questions because I neglected my good friends RR and FA I'd be quite upset.

This #$#! test is #$@@! with my head.
