Is KAPLAN too easy?

I’ve always done well in general chemistry. I am breezing through the KAPLAN General Chemistry review book. I borrowed a friend’s but don’t know if I should purchase the book set?

Leaning towards Kaplan or Princeton but KAPLAN seems too easy for me or am I good on content review for general chemistry?

Since the content is coming to you easily that can be a good sign for you in terms of content knowledge. This will allow you to begin practicing MCAT style questions in those areas quicker. Both Princeton and Kaplan are good resources for MCAT content review, but it just depends on what areas you feel weakest. Kaplan is known for providing more content information than is needed but it can be helpful for someone who is less familiar in one particular area, for example, Physics.

Oh yikes. I definitely need to relearn a lot of the physics and Orgo stuff. The gen chem stuff was easy for me... I mean I still made mistakes... but they were careless errors

It is great that you recognize some areas you need to go focus on more so than Gen Chem, therefore you can use your time more effectively.

So I went with Princeton, “3rd edition” supposedly. However the CARS book says “2nd edition”... is amazon messed up?!
