hi dent_ist,
biochem is little volatile i can understand, but it is quiet easy if u just know wat u need for part 1 , i.e sometimes some books may be elaborate so if u take a topic or something if u understand or satisfied that u know something about it , dont read it further, the more u read it over and over it makes u confused, this is my way of studyins, well iam not using kaplans and i do this same thing.
As far as the course is concerned , i remember one of my seniors saying that it is for the book that they get the money , and if v get the book its better v sit home and read it in our style, so iam not so sure, u ll have to decide.Anyway all the best , hope this helps.
take care
bye, cheers
