right now, i am studying using only the TPR hyperlearning, i am pretty much just doing all the homework in the workbooks and all the full lengths provided (8 aamc, 9 tpr).

i thought this was enough material to study for, but maybe not. if not, can someone point me towards some other material to buy for studying? so far, i think i am going to buy the EK 101 verbal passages, but other than that, i am not sure what else would be a good investment for studying.

also, this is a pretty subjective question, but about how many passages do/did you guys do a day in order to do well on the mcat? right now i am doing about 10-15, i dont know if this is too little or enough

thanks,
W

The amount people study for the test varies greatly, depending on how much they already know the material and how good of test-takers they are. The true metric is whether you're improving at a fast enough rate that you'll be ready for the MCAT - if you're seeing your scores remain constantly below your target, then it may be time to change things up; if you're already getting high scores then maybe you don't have to study so much.

The EK textbooks are great for concept review because they're so concise, and I think they'd be a great supplement to your PR program. I really like the 101 verbal book too.

hmm, ok, well i am currently missing about 0-1 on bio passages, and 0-1 on physics. cant really say the same for ochem, haven't done too many passages but i am not worrying too much about it. with that being said, i am definitely rusty on chemistry, i think it is lack of knowledge on content because sometimes i do well, and sometimes, i bomb it. the same can be said for verbal though, i seem to miss alot of stupid questions.

ok, so i am set on buying the EK verbal 101, what other books have decent verbal passages or chemistry problems?

also, i am shooting for a 38+, does anyone have any idea how many problems i can miss per section to be scoring 12+ on each section? i would think less than 5 per section, but i dont know

thanks,
