Advice on study materials

Ok folks, I need some advice...I've been studying for a few weeks now and have completed the following:

• Kaplan blue book
• Barron's AP Bio
• 2010 Princeton Review 2010 Hyperlearning MCAT Bio/Ochem review (this has a really thorough anatomy/phys section but that is the only difference between it and Cliffs AP bio...I scanned the free online version) got this baby for $3
  
• Feralis's Bio notes (still combing through them!)
• 2015 Destroyer and 2010 Math Destroyer (still working through them)
• Old version of Crack DAT (before they upgraded their software platform)
• Bootcamp
• Chad's Videos

I am looking for what y'all think is the best bang for my buck that will give me full length practice tests. I have researched TopScore, Achiever, and datQvault.

I really don't want to pay the $240 for datQvault although it looks like a great program. I'm trying to save some $$ since the DAT costs $415 plus 1 kidney and part of my liver.

So...I need your opinion on what y'all think is the better product between TopScore and Achiever. I've read that TopScore is an ever-so-slightly harder version of the test and Achiever kicks you in the teeth but I really have no idea.

Thanks

Honestly, between the three you've listed...Qvault is far and away the most useful, even if it is more expensive. More tests, more up to date, and a lot of material to practice with.

Agreed.
At the very least the three Sciences. You can survive without the others granted you have bootcamp.

Get the 2007 and 2009 ADA tests. 2007 is free and the 2009 is about $34.

Do you just do all the exams during your last few weeks of studying? Qvault has like 20 right?

Bootcamp, bootcamp, bootcamp. At the very least. Plus Chad's quizzes/videos for sure. Skip Kaplan- I didn't get anything from it. Use Cliffs AP 3rd edition for bio instead / Feralis' Notes for stuff you're more familiar with.

Thank y'all for your input...I can't believe I left out Chad's videos but I added it to the original post.

When do you take your test?

Qvault has ten for each subject and yes I did all the week before only because that's when I bought it. It should be a learning tool not a score gauge and I wish I would've got it earlier and used it well before a week before.

I will take my test the first week in July.
