Let's put it this way: I took TPR the first time around and got a 30 (10's across the board). I thought TPR was horrible, but it was definitely a clash of personal abilities and lecture material (TPR is REALLY heavy on the science review, which I already knew...I should have been spending more time practicing problems, polishing up weak areas, taking full lengths, etc.).

I bought the EK books the second time around and spent about 4 hours/day (4 times/week) studying material and doing the practice exams in each book. I supplemented my studies with AAMC exams 6R, 7, and 8 and felt way more prepared going into the MCAT the second time around. In the end I was spending less time preparing for the MCAT, yet I scored 6 points higher (10VR, 13BS, 13PS).

If you can manage your studying time effectively and you're a person who doesn't need to be taught material (i.e. you've covered just about everything, you just need to review and learn a few things), I would strongly advise you to save $1000 and use EK materials. It worked for me.

Good luck.

I think TPR has good material for review, but it’s my opinion. I had a good experience with the instructors and the material that TPR provided me. But basically what I discovered that everything boils down to how one can put effort into studying, practicing, and preparing.
