just curious for some feedback.
i've taken a couple of AAMC tests now, and i think their passages differ markedly from TPR's. for instance; it seems to me that AAMC Bio passages are harder, because most of the bio passages in the TPR workbook have like, 6 friggin' paragraphs of info, and if you're quick enough, you can basically infer 90% of the answers by going back to the passage to look for clues. the AAMC passages just seemed like two short paragraphs and a couple of charts--you kinda just have to 'freestyle' the answers on your own.
also, the gen. chem/physics passages seem to be way harder in the workbook than by the AAMC--not by structure, just content.
it just seems like the workbook isn't a very focused way to use my (limited) time, and perhaps i should just stick to studying the topics instead of completing all those wretched assignments.
does anyone else feel this way? am i not approaching the TPR workbook passages the right way to get the most out of them? tell me what to do, dammit!
