I've done TBR Bio, EK1001 Bio, EK mini-mcat bio, and kaplan mcat 45 bio passages and I've found on these forums that the general consensus is that the bio in the above-mentioned books are all harder than the actual MCAT bio (EK1001 Bio is harder not in terms of critical thinking, but in terms of the sheer amount of detail it requires you to know). What is a good indicator of Bio difficulty on the actual MCAT other than AAMC Fls? Is TPRHL Bio a lot more representative than the ones I have done so far?
