Debating whether to watch the kaplan biochem videos (with Dr. Raymond and mostly some other dude), which would legit take a good 3 days alone of watching (i.e.- if i spent like 7 hours a day watching them + reviewing notes)...biochem is a blast from the past so it might useful to watch and learn vs me trying to attempt to read FA...the goal was then after watching to do all the UWorld biochem questions....but at the end of the day in my cumulative review (in which biochem was to be reviewed in one day)...would you recommend to not watch the videos and just study FA and straight up to UWorld or is it better if i take the time to watch them?

Kaplan Biochem videos were amazing for me.. If I had not done them, I really think I would have missed out on understanding the bigger picture for Biochem. It took me about a week to do (did it at a really slow pace).. but it was well worth it. Makes going through the Biochem section in FA after very easy.

I can second this opinion. The biochem is presented really well in Kaplan, and you get a feel for why each pathway is ultimately happening, which gives you better insight into tricky questions that aren't just rote memorization of "this enzyme does this, and requires this as its cofactors."

As an aside, Kaplan pharm is also amazing.

One more person to back these claims up. I'd say Kaplan biochem, pharm, and micro/immuno are a must watch.
