Hello,

I just went through the TPR books and I was thinking about buying some more books and studying those also. I was wondering what people thought was better, berkeley review books or exam kracker books?

I read the Kaplan comp review book and found errors that were just beyond simple typos. I was not too satisfied. I bought the EK books and used them to review some renal function stuff, and browsed through. They seem to be superior. Too bad I got them late in the game and had no time to read them. I say EK.

I used BR exclusively (except for verbal). The g-chem books are AWESOME, especially for stuff like acid-base/titrations. Bio is too detailed. O-chem and physics are really good. I think BR would be a good investiment.

I enrolled in BR and stopped going 2 weeks into it. I thought their stuff was just way too in depth and went EK exclusively. Towards the end, anything I was unclear about I would read up on BR. My practice tests were miserable though so I don't know if I did the right thing. EK was an easier read but maybe not as in depth as it should've been...

I have some of the BR books, and im taking the EK class right now. I would agree with what most people have said thus far, BR is very in depth. The EK class is excellent so far (albiet two classes), but anyone who can teach me physics has to be doing somethign right. I would say the Orgo for EK could be better, so you might want to use the BR books.
