Hi all, this coming summer about a week after finals I plan on studying like it is a full time job throughout the summer until the Thursday prior to Fall semester which is when I will be taking my MCAT. I already have the Kaplan book set (2016 version) and I will be purchasing all of the available AAMC materials. I was thinking of purchasing another book set so that I can work with more than one resource as I go through the chapters. Which set do you guys think would be best to get in addition to Kaplan. I'm a bit torn between TBR, TPR, and Examkrackers. Are there any preferred places to get practice full lengths?
Is there anything else I should throw into the mix to have the best chances at a good score? Also, does anyone know of anywhere I could create my own MCAT study schedule based off of the materials I have at hand? Thank you to anyone who responds.

It sounds like the materials you have and are considering would tie in well with the MCATjelly study guide. The TBR set would be a good choice as it comes with a lot of passages.

TBR is the Holy grail for the sciences, EK for Cars, and Khan academy/ TPR for the social science section of the Mcat.
->Purchase ALL AAMC materials!! Good Luck!
 
I have been hearing a lot of great things about the Berkeley Review books, they might be a bit out of my price range though after checking up on those prices now. Can anyone elaborate on the depth that each of the main three companies use in their books? I'd like to have one more in-depth book accompanied by a less in-depth book so that I can read about the information through two different perspectives and have additional passages along with the full-lengths.
