So, is FA sufficient for behavioral science?

I am not buying the Kaplan videos because videos are a poor learning tool for me, personally. If FA is not enough, is FA + HY good enough?

FA doesn't cover anything. You've gotta do practice questions.

Ok, what about FA + kaplans Qbank +UW?

I guess my question is do I need to a review book specifically for BS?

I went through both HY and BRS Behavioral. HY was useless across the board. BRS was great for building foundation, but in retrospect, I actually don't think it helped me get any additional questions correct on my real exam. The behavioral that will show up on your exam will mostly be ethical situations that you can't really study for. After I finished my exam, I felt that I practically could have spent zero minutes on behavioral for the past year and still had answered those questions.

thanks for the explanation, this is exactly what I needed to know. 🙂

Thank god. I definitely didn't feel like studying BRS Behavioral too intently.

There is obviously the chance that you could get a question on abortion, reportable diseases, abuse, etc., where it might be helpful to have studied that stuff beforehand, but most behavioral questions on the real deal are just ethical situations that you need to use your social-IQ to work through. As I said before, I could have answered all of the behavioral questions that showed up on my particular form without having even studied. I hated / still hate behavioral. I wish I had never studied for it.

yeah, that **** sucks. I don't get why it's even tested on, tbh.
