Best Way To Prepare For Saba Given My Situation?

[Confused 20]

I have been admitted to the January 2011 class at Saba and am extremely frightened given the fact that I am an individual of average intelligence with a very minimal science background. I was wondering if anyone would be so kind to provide me the best method to approach my preparation for Saba now that I only have 232 days until class starts and have taken the following Biology related courses in the past:
Introductory Biology (for non-majors) - A
Introductory Biology I - A
Introductory Biology II - A
Introductory Botany - A
Heredity and Society - A
Evolution & Human Diversity – A

I plan on taking Anatomy and Physiology I and II this summer and purchasing “Atlas of Human Anatomy” – 5th ediition by Frank H. Netter. I currently have the following textbooks and materials:
“Histology – A Text and Atlas” – 5th edition by Ross and Pawlina
“Color Atlas of Histology” – 5th edition by Gartner and Hiatt
“Clinically Oriented Anatomy” – 6th edition by Moore
“Langman’s Medical Embryology” 11th edition by Sadler
“Board Review Series – Gross Anatomy” – 6th edition
Rao’s Notes On Anatomy and Embryology


I have recently quit my job and am spending 12 hours each day Monday – Friday and 13 hours on Saturday studying the above textbooks and materials using the Anatomy syllabus from January Fall 2009 (which gives the reading assignments in “Clinically Oriented Anatomy” – 6th edition by Moore and“Langman’s Medical Embryology” 11th edition by Sadler). On Sunday I attempt to rest and watch the Ackland Anatomy DVD section of the anatomy material that I have been studying from Monday - Saturday.

Can anyone give me any suggestions on how I may best utilize my time in the next 232 days to best prepare for Saba. Are 12 hours each day enough study time or should I attempt to study a great deal more? Should I just study for the first semester or should I also study for the second semester or is it best to study for the first semester and also study for Biochemistry? I am especially worried about Biochemistry because I did not take it as an undergraduate and also am worried about the fact that I did not take Genetics, Microbiology, and Cell Biology. Should I attempt to take these courses at my university and/or local community college? Should I attempt to research ways of improving memorization and learning since I believe I have an average memory and of average intelligence for a college student? Are there any websites,textbooks and/or materials that I should purchase to prepare for anatomy or the basic sciences?

If anyone would be so kind as to provide me any advice, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if anyone would be willing to send me the lecture materials from the first few semesters, please send me a private message and I would be glad to work out an arraignment where you would be paid for providing this service.
