I know I haven't put myself in a very good situation, but I need some advice. I'm trying to cram MCAT biology content in 3 days, and reading/underlining the content book is taking too much time. Should I instead just try to zoom through everything fast (silent reading) and then go to a site like mcat-review.org to refresh my memory on the concepts?

Thanks
 
A guy posted on the 30+ CBT thread not too long ago that a day before the MCAT, he went through every topic on the AAMC outline for Biology and studied from that list, and it saved his butt on the real deal. So, if you're in a rush, you should look up pertinent information for every bullet point on that outline.
 
IMO

2 best ways to cram for bio:

1. Chad Videos
2. Examkrackers lecture book (just go page by page and read every topic you don't remember too well)
 
Do you think I could survive solely on Chad videos and Biology passages? I really don't feel confident reading from my TPR content review book 🙁
 
Chad has a course outline for Biology on the website http://www.coursesaver.com/videos/category/2014-mcat-biology-258/

Click on "Download Outline". Read the outline and match it up with the bullet points on AAMC.

If you don't understand some of the terms, either watch the vid on the particular topic, google it, or refer to your review books for explanations. The videos might take too long if you watch them individually. It's more efficient if you read over the materials and watch the videos only for topics you're struggling with.
 
Thank you, that outline looks pretty solid. I feel stupid for wasting my whole summer, but now I have 12 days to give my all, and try to cover as much content as possible.
