Okay, I purchased the TBR book set a few weeks ago (They are amazing btw). I began TRULY studying for the MCAT a few weeks ago. I stuck to a schedule and everything has been running smoothly, until I opened the Biology I book. When I saw 'nerve and muscle' as the first chapter I thought "This shouldn't take too long." Boy, was I wrong making that statement. Here is my main question, do I need to understand every minute detail that the book covers? I have been reading my book/ watching a ton of Khan Academy videos. It seems like I will never finish this Biology book due to the dense amount of material. Is there a strategy to picking out the most important topics? For instance, on Khan Academy they cover a lot of material about nerves, neurotransmitters, lower motor neurons, etc... Do I need to understand in depth what GABA, Glutamate, and Acetylcholine are? If so, I may be pushing back my MCAT date. Any help would be appreciated. Also, I took on a research position and I don't know if that was the right move.
