I understand it’s better to take all the classes pertaining to the MCAT before the actual exam, but would it be possible to effectively know the MCAT Biochem material by using books (ie Barron’s, Princeton Review, and Kaplan) over a month or so?
I am not taking orgo 2, but the orgo 2 materials (sugar chemistry) were in my biochem class to some extent and that which wasn't and is tested on MCAT, is fairly easily drawn and learned.
I will have taken both semesters of ochem by the time I’d take it if in August. So you don’t think the three books plus the Khan Academy videos would be a good enough supplement?
I would swap out ochem 2 for biochem; biochem >>> ochem 2
it's an entirely different beast; ochem is puzzles with electrons; biochem is puzzles + math + pathways + genetics (in my case, at least)
But, I am not you. I could not have learned biochem the way it needed to be for the MCAT via books and videos, just like I could not learn physics that way either.
