Retaking the MCAT! Need help with study materials!

I decided to retake my mcat but I needed some help with what study materials to get. When I took the test in September I used the Princeton review science work book, Berkeley physics and Chemistry, original EK verbal 101 qs, aamc exams, and gold standard tests. Its been a while since I've studied so I'm not sure if i still remember the questions to some of these.

I can easily review the info from princeton, EK, or berkeley. The only issue i have is the practicing. Does anyone have any suggestions on practice material i can use to boost myself up? I plan on studying from May- August.

Specifically suggestions for studying and practicing Physics and Chemistry?

If you've already worked through all the TBR physics stuff, then I suggest you use NOVA for physics. I love the content and there are TONS of practice passages/questions as well.

See if you can get the TPR hyperlearning workbook for more passages as TBR should be fine for content.

How about for chemistry? Would nova also be good content and practice? Or should i just focus on the tpr hyperlearning and TBR content?

For practice exams I was thinking of using Kaplan, TBR and AAMCs. Is there a way to purchase Kaplan online exams offered to people who take the class?

TBR & TPR is more than enough in terms of content and practice material. If you know the content discussed in TBR or TPR, that should MORE than enough to attack passage problems. But if you brushed over content and already used up all the passages by both, your best bet would be to use FL's instead (or Kaplan). TPR & TBR are in my opinion the best source of practice passages for the sciences. Also, try to figure out where you went wrong. It's possible you didn't know the content as well as you thought. If that means you need to spend more time understanding the material, then do it. What use is doing passages if you don't have a good grasp of the material?
