Done with content review

I finished doing content review with TBR for chem and physics and with EK for bio and orgo.
I am planning to take more Kaplan FLs for April and then take AAMC FLs for one month till my exam date. During the days I dont take FLs, should I do more passages from TPRH or do more content review?

I am asking this because there's no way for me to remember all these materials without continuing doing the content review, but it seems like everyone here is emphasizing more on doing practice passages...

My exam date is 5/30.

I'm in the same boat. I split up my TBR passages into thirds and I'm doing the final third of TBR right now...I've forgotten so much material. I'm about ready to just say **** it and give up.

Im planning to do the last 1/3 during the last month while I am doing AAMC FLs.
I think things will come back to my head quickly for physics/chem/orgo, but for bio, WTF.

Yeah, good luck. The concepts might be easy to remember but recognizing when to apply certain equations and under what condition is a bitch. Not to mention how absolutely worthless TBR is, with their questions that focus more on doing calculations to the 5th decimal place or simultaneously comparing 4 different variables than being actually relevant to the MCAT.

What I hate the most about TBR is that it has so many unnecessary equations + info.. For example, you dont even need to know about Lenz's law for magnetism.. It took me like 1 hour to understand this **** completely. I should've chosen TPR. I dont understand the hype about TBR on this forum.

Same. It's infuriating how absolutely ******ed some of these chapters and passages are. My favorite is the equilibrium chapter, where nearly every passage involves carrying out ridiculous calculations.

You will thanking the writers of TBR physics and gen chem books after your MCAT test.

Why is that?

The hype about TBR is for PS and probably O-chem, but everything else for TBR is worthless IMO.

Word. It's incredible how much of kinematics, force/gravitation, stochiometry etc I've forgotten. And I'm definitely not wasting entire days re-reading the chapters for a third time. Eff it, I've also left the final 1/3 passages incomplete for this reason. Hopefully that'll be enough of a refresher cus I don't have time to re-read 40 page chapters all over again.

Why is that?

b/c the real MCAT PS will seem like a joke compared to TBR passages

I really hope that is true.

Anyways, do you guys think I should use the last 2 months for doing as many passages as possible, not doing content review?

Do passages but make sure you jot down which questions you get wrong or are not sure of and review them on a consistent basis until you fully understand them.
