Hi

Could anyone help me with matching EK chapters with BR passages/ reading for bio? Overall, from your experience, is it worth it to read the BR biology chapters? Or just do the passages along with EK?

Also, how long do you guys review the explanations after doing the passages? It can get very time consuming! I'm not sure how deep my understanding should be after answer explanations. I don't understand some explanations and don't know what to do.

Thanks

How do I combine BR Bio's passages and EK Bio's content?

I'd also like opinions on reading the BR bio chapters + doing the passages vs. reading the EK bio chapter + doing the passages. I find a lot of the BR passages hard to do when using what we read in EK (much more detail in BR).

Biophilia shared a post with me that BerkReviewTeach wrote, which in essence said that if you take ANYTHING away from the TBR books, it is the explanations to every question. If you find yourself stuck, THEN read the content backing it, but otherwise, the explanations are your ticket to success. (At least, that's what I got from his post.)

I'll find this and repost with it.
