I would actually like to know the extent to which SWB has changed for 2015. Advice, SDN people? 🙂

I have the new one. It's totally different passages for the most part. Both there are definitely repeats. They also removed all FSQs in the book. I hate TPR for this. They did it so you get FSQs on Amplifire- which is a waste of time.

The Amplifire questions are also extremely frustrating at times in terms of difficulty. I'm not sure if that's just me.

They're the same questions as in the old SWB. So you could just do those instead. Amplifire is a waste of time imo

Is it worth getting TPR for the Science Workbook? I have the old one, would that suffice for the new MCAT for passages?

I think you would be just fine using the old swb and using Khan for psyc/soc passages

just do a ton of questions from wherever

Do you get access to Amplifire when you are not in their registered courses, or..?

You mean - they're too difficult?
Also, if they were in the pre 2015 editions of the science workbook, wouldn't they be doable?

I've not used the Khan resources for their passages yet. How does everyone feel about Khan's style of passages?

I usually score better on FL tests than I do on some of the Amplifires. Amplifires are great practice but at least in experience they all take very long to complete.

You don't get access to Amplifire if you're not registered but it's not a huge loss don't worry.

People seem to approve of khan's psyc soc passages

Ah I see. Yea I just started the course so haven't delved into amplifire yet - it does seem to go on and on - to me, I feel that it would be very hard if you're NOT very familiar with the topic yet (because you're forced to do a Q you know not much about)!

Yea I am in course haha, so too bad then, as I'll have to be doing some amplifire too. 🙂
