If you are shorter on time--would you recommend doing the questions from TPR full length exams or the TPR science workbook questions (setting it up like a full length/sections broken up)?

TPR Science Workbook, no questions.

TPR Science Workbook, no questions.

thanks--but what do you mean science workbook no questions?

he/she meant that the science workbook questions are vastly superior over the TPR full-lengths, which is a common sentiment.

but i have a related question: how representative are the science workbook questions? some say that they are easier than the real AAMC exams.

Look at AAMC 10/11, which are the more recent and representative ones, and you'll know that they're way easier. I'd go with TBR's passages for the closest to the actual thing.

I completely disagree.
I took MCAT on 5/30, and the PS section was a joke compared to TBR passages.

However, I am 100% sure that each test is DIFFERENT in terms of both difficulty and question types.

Something is always harder/easier than others on every exam; this is true. However, aside from TPRH ICC, there's nothing out there on the market that's more difficult yet still rewarding. I'd rather do more than less and then regret it.

would you say all of the ICC by TPR was worth doing??

Yes, the ICC is a must. Save it towards the end of your studying as it is verified by both SDNers and TPR teachers that it is much harder than the real deal. But the passages are eerily the same style, even if the questions are a little more than what they should be.

I have tprh. I'm kinda low on time. I finish up content review in a few days and my exam is July -13. Can I do tprh ICC while also taking full lengths and going over questions?? Thanks

It'll be the thinnest MCAT book you ever own, as it's even thinner than EK 1001s due to the lack of answer explanations; only answers are available. Do it in sets between FLs when you have some down time. Taking them is not the issue; going over the questions thoroughly because they can be difficult is the problem. But again, it's not anything undoable if you don't have severe knowledge gaps to bridge.

My concept understanding is pretty good. My only shortage is equations and math practice. I hope to get good at that with full lengths.

I have answers with explanations for it.

 

[Melomare17]

is that little packet/workbook of just straight up questions and explanations good too? for the sciences?

or the verbal strategy guide book?

If you are talking about the TPRH Science Workbook, it is not a little packet by any means. The Verbal Workbook is one of the best out there, though.

no not the sicence workbook nor the verbal workbook. my box set came with 2 other smaller packet like things. one was called mcat science questions and solutions, only 34 pages.with review questions like what's this, give an example of that. and its answers. no passages or answer choices. the verbal packet thing i got is more just strategy/supplement

 

[inycepoo]

Can't see how a no passage supplement could help very much besides for content review, then.

 

[wjs010]

I have answers with explanations for it.

How?

 

[brood910]

how?

 

[Synapsis]

I'm curious too. Did you get them from the website or class or something? Or did you make them up on your own? I have two ICC's and no answer explanations.

Two ICC's? There are two? I thought there was one.

Also, roughly how many passages does it have?

Around 20 for each science subject, 30 for verbal.

yea i think it might be just for that then

Not my own

How much will you sell it for, then? Since you obviously are reluctant to reveal more, and honestly if that's the case, it doesn't do us any good at all.

Well, I just wanted to say that I have one because ppl here were saying that it is inaccessible.
I didnt really get it in a "legal" way, so I am reluctant to talk about it.

For further information, please PM me.

which TPR FLs are worth doing?? / representative?

 

[vitanuova]

Silly question:
What are ICCs? How can I find them?

I'm currently working through the TPR hyperlearning workbook and would like to supplement it with something.

 

[Roxas]

Silly question:

It's the In Class Compendium. Its a smaller book of passages (~20 per subject) used as practice for each class session with the course. The problem is it only includes the correct answer with no explanation, but some use it regardless because the passages are very difficult and its a good way to assess weaknesses. They can only be found used, like on amazon or something.
