I usually finish the ek passages with about ten minutes left using the ek strategy, and I didn't get a chance to get the tpr verbal book since its a little harder to get your hands on that one, but using mike's strategy, i barely finished the full length aamc practice, but usually have a little time left when using the ek passages w/ mike's strategy, so timing is definitely something to keep in mind, but i feel like its worth the point jump if you can ensure that you finish on time
