Hey,

Is it just or is the TPR Hyperlearning Ochem complete overkill? I haven't had ochem in a loooong time so their review is completely over my head. I need something comprehensive without too much detail. Just wondering what you would suggest? Kaplan? EK?

EK all the way.

EK is awesome for ochem. I took the princeton review and let me jsut tell you so you dont freak out or anything. their practice tests are not representative of the real mcat and your scores will show that. most of TPR stuff is in excess as you probbaly already know from the small city of books they pile on you from day 1. Dont even crak open their ochem sections use EK.

I hadn't touched science in 8 years so I needed TPR to help explain things more in depth. Their first 50 pages was the most important for me (mainly stereochemistry). From there on out, it's not nearly as bad as it looks. I prefer TPR b/c they go through example questions after each section and i find this helps me a great deal - this also cuts down on "content" pages. I also found their biological molecule section to be great - but again, this is likely valid for pure beginners only. I wish I had a more recent background so I could get by on just Ek but alas, I'm paying the price for not writing this beast a long time ago.

PS (it is nice to know that TPR seems to be harder than the AAMC from what i hear.........but not banking on it)
