Should I Do Content Review While Taking Prerequisites?

[AveragePerson.Psych]

Hi Everyone and thank you for your help! I am currently taking my Physics I, Organic Chemistry I, and an introductory biology course for my post bac (I was able to take the Gen Chem series, a few statistic courses, and an upper level biology course during my undergrad as a psych major). I had previously taken two introductory biology courses during high school for dual credit and it has been some time since then and one of the courses was a nonscience biology course (which won't fulfill the TMDSAS requirements for courses so that is one reason I am taking an intro bio course while the other is because I need to build up my understanding of the concepts for the knowledge for the MCAT).

Should I read the content review books AND course textbooks for the courses while being enrolled in them or will I be fine with practicing AAMC questions, exams and reading the course textbooks? Currently, I do plan on re-reading the content review books for Psych, Soc, and Gen Chem.

Once again, thank you for your help.

It's hard to say. Have you taken a practice test? It really depends on where your knowledge gaps are that are covered on the exam, which is not the same as going through the course textbook.

I did and I didn't break the 500 mark. I had assumed that it was because I had never taken the courses for the test, but I will do both as long as it helps. I'll reread the books and start fresh with the textbooks as well. Thank you!
