That's why I think it is better to read a textbook, instead of the reviews. A review does not explain why and how. It just spits out the content. That's why they say the pre-reqs are very important. I took Biology 15 years ago, so I am reading the full Campbell book. The only problem is time. I am hoping to be able to finish the book in a month, but I am not so sure about it. It would be nice is someone knew what actually needs to be ready from Campbell... I am reading almost everything...

Are you serious? That is a total waste of time! Look at what everyone said about the most recent MCAT. The general consensus was that very little content knowledge was required. Although I am supplementing with the Campbell textbook, I don't expect to read more than 1-2 chapters form it. Reading the full textbook will do nothing but fill your head with information you wont be tested over (photosynthesis is one of many examples i can think of). Practice is the key!
Yea, one content-light MCAT means all of the past content-heavy MCATs are meaningless.
