Hey guys,
I joined this board a while ago, and have been reading up on quite a bit of threads. I haven't decided to post until now. I would really appreciate if some of you guys could give me some advice.
---------------------------------------
I just finished my 2nd year and I have a cumulative 3.7 GPA. I'm currently taking the TPR in-class prep, which started on June 16th. I am signed up for the September 13th test.
My dilemma is this...I took the IB program in high school and scored a 6 for bio. This allowed me to basically skip general bio these past 2 years at UCSD.
However, I am a human bio major, and I am going to be taking Mammalian physiology and genetics this next fall quarter.
G-chem, ochem, and physics are pretty fresh in my mind right now and I've gotten A's on all of these classes. So for these 3 subjects, I am basically relying on the in-class TPR in-class lectures to basically reteach me what I know and do many workbook problems/passages.
As far as verbal goes, I know that this one especially is dependent on basically practicing a lot.
Bio is my main problem right now. My plan for bio is to read the TPR bio portion book (which is quite detailed and long), then read the ek bio, supplemented with the in-class bio lectures.
--------------------------------------------
1) For g-chem,ochem,and physics, and verbal do you guys think the way I'm approaching studying for these 3 subjects is sufficient or do I need to read the TPR books too?
2) Can I possibly be able to effectively study all the bio material (basically giving me a little less than 3 months) or should I postpone my test until sometime after fall quarter once I finish genetics/mammphys?
Thanks!
