I'm thinking about taking the Kaplan Advantage online class simultaneously with SN2ed's TBR 4-month schedule.

Has anyone done this? 🙂

(I'm a non-traditional over 10+ years removed from pre-reqs)

If you've been out that long, I don't recommend that you do SN2ed's schedule since you might want to focus a lot more on content review. Kaplan will give you plenty of material so try to finish them too 🙂
 
No point.

Pick 1 or the other. In your case, I would use the SN2ed TBR schedule if you think you can study solo, but you will still need to supplement with something else because you might not remember a lot of what you learned. So I'd say start with www.khanacademy.org, and more specifically check out this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsFQ9kM1qDs Khan recommends you get the videos in the Algebra 1/2 down. I would say if what you're learning in those Algebra 1/2 videos is new, then continue with them, but if you feel like you know most of it, move onto TBR books. Since this is MCAT review, TBR assumes you have taken pre-reqs before (not mastered them, just taken them). So as you go through the books, if you encounter trouble remembering about things, then go to www.khanacademy.org and watch the lectures for whichever bio subject you're having trouble with. No need to do practice and all that, just re-familiarize yourself.

Good luck, sounds like you have a while before your test date. Use the time wisely! If you have 4 or more months, I would spend the last 3 months on MCAT practice, and whatever time you have before that, spend watching videos on www.khanacademy.org.
 
I actually did On Demand + TBR + EK Bio....I would only use kaplan for the practice materials...but then again, it's quite pricey if just for that.
 
I decided to enroll in the Kaplan OnDemand online course, mainly because I feel like I could benefit from the structure. I plan to supplement my learning with the TBR/EK 4-month schedule as described by SN2ed. MCAT is scheduled for May so I have a large amount of time to absorb all this material as I "start over"
