How are you guys getting through Feralis's notes? It seems to take me like 2-3 hours to get through a page and really understand it - I'm doing photosynthesis now, but at this rate it will take me a few months before I get through it one time... lol any suggestions?

My understanding of how people review the Feralis notes is that they zip through it, either because are already proficient at Bio or because they don't really care about really understanding the details and the concepts (which may be true for DAT bio anyways, it's more memory and less understanding). Like what you're saying, personally it would take me months to review them because once I'm doing something I'm doing it right and I wouldn't feel like I'm getting anything by speed reading that stuff (it's so dense with info). I simply read the stuff I needed to know out of Campbell, though there's a huge amount you don't need to know in there too so if you don't know what to look for maybe Feralis is worth it.
I guess let's see what others say.

If you're spending too much time on the notes, maybe it's time to utilize other resources. I personally couldn't decipher through them without getting a headache. Too dense for me, although the content is great. You don't NEED to use them to do well on the bio section.

I used the notes as a supplement to other stuff to look at. It was about half my bio review or so. Tyjacobs notes look a bit neater but they're also insanely dense.

To be honest, Feralis notes are really awesome once you have a decent base. I tried using them not knowing anything, and I was lost. If you learn the material first either through other books/videos, then come back to fill the holes with Feralis's notes, I feel everything makes a lot more sense. I used a lot of his notes the last two weeks just to get some more detailed information. All in all, the resource is awesome, but I would compliment it with a source that is dedicated to teaching material from scratch.
