MCAT Study Schedule with The Princeton Review Books

[The Milkman]

So I just got all of my MCAT study books that I will be starting out with. I have The Princeton Reivew content books, the Hyperlearning Verbal and Science workbooks, and the in-class compendium, and also the Examkrackers 101 passages in verbal. Does anyone know the best way to use the Princeton Review books? All content books first, then workbooks? Any ideas appreciated.

3 passages of VR a day, alternating resources every day
Each chapter you complete in TPR, do 3-4 passages in the SWB
Do the ICC along with the Fl's, so save those for last as they are the hardest of the passages (like 3x as hard as the real AAMC)

Does the science workbook go along with the content books in terms of topics? Would it make sense to do questions in the workbook that covered topics that I haven't reviewed yet?

no, in my opinion don't touch the workbook if you haven't done the content review, those are good stuff that should be saved for closer to the test (you know your timeline./schedule better than I do)

doing practice passages consolidates your content review.

how do you know if you really know something without testing yourself?

save some passages for afterwards but definitely integrate some with content review.

He said if it would be a good idea to do the questions on topics which he hasnt reviewed

I would do half with content and half after content. I'm saving most (85%) of TPRH SW for after content since I am running TBR with those passages. So I have a ton of passage practice before and after. I might forgo the last 1/3rds of TBR though in favor of the SW and utilizing and breaking down the FL's to their fullest potential as it is the most indicative factor on the schedule in regards to the actual test.
