Chad's Videos for Physics

Could anyone comment on the quality of Chad's Physics videos as preparation for the Physics section of the MCAT (along with practice passages from other sources)?

Just finished the Gen Chem ones which were great. I know that WikiPremed is recommended by many for Physics but the length of their videos seem excessively long (e.g. about 1.5 hours for Newton's three laws, whereas Chad covers this topic in 20 minutes).

I watched a few of his physics videos for the subjects I was weak on and they seemed good. They're not exceptional like his gen chem videos but they worked fine for me.

Would you say good enough to be a sole source of physics content review (+ TBR passages)?

If you are like me and aren't very strong with physics I would not use his physics video as your only source of content review but more as a supplement to TBR. I might be getting delusional at this point but I do think his videos parallel TBR chapters (i.e. he might be referencing them directly.. regardless I liked studying with the both of them).

I agree that wikipremed videos seem like a great resource but are a tad too long. Chad's physics isn't as great as his gen chem but it's not awful. I know you wouldn't want to pay for something that may not help you but if a topic isn't clear to you after watching Chad's vid maybe supplementing it with something from khan academy might be enough to fill in the blank spots

I first read PR physics, then watch Chads vid then do the questions from PR sci wrkbk.

Yeah I think so. The TBR passages will show where your weaknesses are so if you're still missing something after watching Chad's you can cover it with something else.

Thanks for the reply. Did you find that Chad covered everything you saw in the PR physics book or were there some important things missing?

Chad covered the main topics... there were a few things he didn't cover..... if I were to do it again I would have purchased Chad Physics for the Physics course instead of his MCAT physics vids.

I think I wouldn't have even bothered to read TBR chapters if I had to do it again. I'm a visual learner so I found Chad's Videos to be very helpful and gave me all the required equations for the most part. I think Chad's + TBR passages would be the way for me if I had to do it over again because the passages would expose anything significant that was missing (an equation etc.)

I rd PR oscillations and Wave chapter and now I am watching Chad and I notice he goes into more details than PR does.... like x=Acoswt.... is PR lacking in this topic..... it is funny because in the chap. Pr mention how much the mcat loves waves and yet they do not give a good review.
