Anyone else find these ridiculously painful? I did every problem on EK 1001 bio and did pretty good overall..but on TPR some of these passgaes are worded in a way that just blows my mind..Not to mention some of the questions are deeply confusing. It's strange because my best section is verbal so I figured I would be able to critical think my way through them. Shows what I know. I ordered tbr bio a week ago, do you guys think this will help me a lot if i follow SN2s schedule and do TPR science workbook after I finish TBR? I still have five-six months of raw studying.

TPR is hard on purpose.. it has that reputation. i have the TPR set too, people say it pays off when you see yourself breezing through the AAMCs

You'll get used to the level of difficulty in TPR...but just want to point out that TBR bio is like 10 times harder than TPR

Yeah, tpr bio is definitely harder than EK 1001, but I wouldn't worry too much about how you're doing as long as you're learning from it. Though I found TPR questions to require more thinking overall than EK. I actually found the question stems to be much more straightforward. I though EK 1001 question stems could get unnecessarily tricky.

I wonder how awful tbr bio passages will be, lol. For me it seems like TPR words things in a confusing manner sometimes. EK was really straightforward usually I thought..TPR you have to dig deep on some of the more ridiculous questions..I feel like if i can handle tpr and tbr bio, the real mcat bio should be a cake buffet.

LOL I sure hope so. I've done all of EK 1001, all of TPR, and I'm gonna start TBR bio in a bit. If my bio knowledge isn't solid after that then Idk....🙄 surprisingly there were still serious knowledge gaps after completing EK1001 and TPR as evidenced by my 30 minute exams scores, lol.

Its funny, im retaking the mcat for the second time (actually studying for it this time) and every bio passage was essentially genetics. You could have just studied genetics and prob got a 15 on the bio section. And there was 4-5 organic chem questions. And most of it wasnt even knowledge based, it was just critical thinking.
