TBR or EK for physics?

I've been doing EK physics and its been more or less until I got to the Electricity and Electrostatics/Electromagnetism part. TBR seems to have better exeruses for this part. Any reccomendations on should I keep doing EK and skim through TBR or focus on TBR for physics?

Much Regards

It really depends on how strong your Physics background knowledge is, I think. Even though I had just finished taking Physics before studying for the MCAT the first time around, my actual -understanding- of the concepts wasn't very good, and I had forgotten a lot of it! Trying to use EK was a disaster because it was just too brief for me to understand everything properly--especially when regarding fluids. This time around, I'm really going to crack down on TBR for Physics, but if you think you're understanding things (and doing well on TBR passages, something I think you should do!), you're set.

I agree with MelloTangelo - I used EK last time, but I didn't have a great physics background, so I feel I missed out on a lot. This time around I'm using TBR, which explains everything much more clearly, and I find that TBR's interspersed questions are better at making sure that you're keeping up.

I agree with both of you. My physics background has some lagoons. Trying to figure out those EK exercises almost made me go to a psych ward. I was able to get my hands on Nova´s MCAT physics though.

It´s been turning out great for understanding but I´m a tad bit worried their question style is off AAMC. Any thoughts?

NOVA has to be off. they're mostly discrete q's and super ridiculously short passages. Moreover, I'd do fairly well on NOVA problems but when I transitioned over to TBR I felt like I knew nothing.
