About TBR Passages

Hi, guys, my situation is that I have both TBR review books and TPR workbooks from my friend. I used TBR for orgo and gen chem and TPR for Bio. I have finished all the orgo and gen chem passages in TBR and did pretty good for them, not more than 5 to 6 mistakes per 100 questions at each chapter end. I dont know if it is necessary that I should start doing the TPR wb questions for orgo and chem. Because it is quite time consuming and I still need to start reviewing physics. Another thing is that my major weakness is verbal since eng is not my native language (so, a certain amount of time for praticing on verbal would be nice). I want to know if it would be helpful to any significant extent that I do the wb passages as well (I mean the orgo and gen).

youre sooo set for physical science and probably bio too! TBR physical sciences is more accurate of the current Mcat than AAMC in my opinion, and there orgo prepares you the best, although nothing can available mimics the crazy orgo there throwing at us currently. No, you dont need to do TPR, but work through all the AAMC materials multiple times especially with verbal.

Thanks for replying. One thing I want to make sure is that what you mean by aamc material is the aamc practice exams you purchase from online, right?

Have you even taken the real deal?
I dont understand ppl who keep saying TBR is the most similar to the real one.
It is not true at all, especially for BS.

Hi brood, I found the tbr biology to be too much, I used tpr bio for it. Do you have any suggestion on me. Should I do tpr wb for orgo and gen chem, I only have 60 days left befor my actual exam. I still need to start reviewing physics, and want to spend most of my time for verbal. Also, I am going to keep the last 10 days for the AAMC practice exams. What is your suggestion?

10 days only? If you are planning to use only a few AAMC FLs, you are making a big mistake.
Try to use all AAMC materials, including self assessments.
Dont bother with TBR for BS.
