Material for retake

Got my score back today, not satisfied so I'm going to retake. I did considerably worse than I did on AAMC practices, and I think most of the problem was issues with timing and because I took most of my practices at 11 PM while hyped-up on coffee, instead of at 8 AM.

I probably have at least 3 passages per chapter of TBR left over, probably more for most. I also have the material from the Guide to the MCAT book and the TPRH Verbal Workbook, most of which I did not use, so for review over winter that shouldn't be too bad, right? Should I think about getting the TPRH Science Workbook?

I'm more concerned about FLs. I used AAMC 7-11 already. Are the other AAMC tests useful? It seems like the next best thing is TBR CBTs, but are those accurate in terms of difficulty? (some people argue that AAMC tests are not very similar, but I thought they were very similar in terms of difficulty and style...)

Check out the GS tests - that's what I'll be using. They recently revised (apparently) their VR to more accurately reflect the MCAT, and I've heard their PS/BS was always pretty good. Good prices, too ($15/test). I'd stick with TBR books since most people say they're the best.
