Recommended Study Materials for a Retake

Cheers, everyone

I made a 31R (9/11/11) on the 8/23 test, and I'm retaking in hopes of improving my physical sciences score (I'm also taking my last inorganic chem prereq this coming spring, which I believe had a lot to do with my low PS score as my test was especially gen chem heavy (maybe 5 or 6 physics problems)).

I used ExamKrackers as my primary means of studying over the summer.

What moderately priced ($500 as opposed to $2000) online prep regime do you guys recommend using for this retake? I've heard Kaplan practice scores tend to be inflated, but I also have heard that their physical science problem types more closely mirror the real deal than the problems on aamc practice tests. I've also seen the Berkeley review praised on these forums, but I don't have much experience with them (I used Princeton Review for most of my AP exams in high school).

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Well, there's no way you could have had any past experience with Berkeley Review.

They specialize in MCAT prep. That's all they do.

If you are concerned about Physical Sciences, you won't regret using TBR because their Physics/G-chem books are pretty much #1.

+1 TBR all the way 👍

Another +1 here.

By far the best, and I had access to everything.
