I think I used up all my study materials...Study Material suggestions?

I took the MCAT three times so far, 2 of which I canceled.

I'm going to take it again this April, but I think I ran out of study materials.. What I've used so far are:

Kaplan online courses/materials/tests (excluding the last two Kaplan FL)

TPR online courses/materials/tests

all AAMC tests

Gold Standard materials/tests

TBR Biology I + II and all tests

I'm not sure what I should use for the next two months to keep studying.... I pretty much remember all the passages/questions/answers for Kaplan/TPR/TBR/AAMC practice tests.

Any other good studying materials available? Or should I just keep reviewing the same material from TPR and just re-take the AAMC+TPR tests anyways as a review?

Wow. You should get a 30+

Maybe you should use PR content.
Reuse PR practice materials
Do BR FLs at the beginning and then AAMC FLs.

I got a 31 on my first MCAT, but didn't feel like it would get me into the schools I really wanted to go..
When I studied for the second time I improved all my practice scores from 28~31 to 35~39. Should I keep re-using the TPR material then even if I remember the questions/answers?

How are you scoring? On your practice and on your actual MAT? What score are you looking for?

In terms of content mastery with the amount of time you have put in you should have all of the concepts down pat (2 full courses +3 full complete study materials).

 

[ddubi]

You're right, I do have all the concepts down pretty much... I've been scoring 35~39 on all practice tests and AAMC tests. 39, highest on AAMC11. I'm looking for anything 35+, but I keep getting nervous seeing new passages during real MCAT...... So if I run into more than like 5~6 uncertain questions, I end up canceling it since during practice tests I only get like 2~3 uncertain questions. So I think I'll just need to keep reviewing concepts so I don't forget

I have 2 text books for Biology which I use as well the review books I have. The review books are really good about some really specific, high yield things, but for time/money, they have to leave out minutiae that text books can provide which is still possible passage material/test material. If I dont know what to study, I just open to a random page, and read and try to see if I can mentally map what system/concept they are explaining - followed by reviewing it. For Chem, O-Chem, Physics, pretty much just practice problems (or concepts as need be). For VR one or two shots of vodka.

From your list, you haven't run out of study materials; there are still plenty available.

One thing I'd suggest if possible, and it might not be, is to find old paper copies of the AAMC practice MCATs from 2006 and earlier. Those had more passages per section than the current test, so that's some new passages you haven't seen before. There are also review books out there that aren't on your list of already used materials that have plenty of passages.
