Hi All,

I am scheduled to take the MCAT on April 4, which is approximately 3 months. Im currrently making a study schedule for myself and own all the EK, Kaplan, BR, and TPR books. I want to get maximum content review since its been a few years since I took my science classes as well as maximum practice. How would you all suggest that I study for all of the subjects or would reading all of them kind of be an overkill since it would be kind of lengthy? Any suggestions would be helpful..thank you!!

I would also like to know in terms of PS, what books I should read. I have all of the above ones except TPR. In terms of BS, I think Kaplan Review Notes are your best option. Do Kaplan Section tests and TPRHL workbook bio passages for practice.

I saw my PS score improve from a 10 to a 12 with TPR. TBR would be my 2nd choice. I've heard terrible things about Kaplan and EK (although EK may be good if you just took your classes and remember most of the material).

I would avoid using a million different sources. Pick one as your primary source and, if you feel the need, a second to use as a "backup" if needed. Having materials from all of the major prep companies will probably do more harm than good. Your time would be much better used reading from one set of sources while using the remaining time to do either more content review or practice exams IMO.
