As my test date approaches (2 months away! yikes!), i find that I need to buckle down on the science more. How do you guys feel about TPR Science Workbook? (I really can't afford to get all of the EK 1001s)

I think the TPR workbook is really helpful personally. I have used it along with the class and it really helps to nail down the concepts. Sometimes it was frustrating because I would bomb a couple of the passages even though I felt like I knew the concepts pretty well. But it really helps you in applying the things you think you know, and the postgame analysis of what you did wrong really really helps you to get rid of some of the stupid mistakes. I am retaking the mcat on the 29th of April and I have completed a majority of it, except for the bio because that was my major so I have slacked on that a little. I don't think that the passages are like the real mcat ones all that much but it is really helpful practice. I have found that in some of my weak areas I actually wanted more than the ten or so passages in that section. So you may need to get a addition ek1001 if you still need practice but I think you'll be doing pretty good if you finish it. I think I am, I have made a 10 in bio and a 9ps on TPR fl#3 because of it and still climbing. good luck!

I like it. It's relatively easy though, like most mistakes I've made are those "WTF, why did I divide by 2 instead of by .5." They mark which passages that are relatively difficult.

It's been a staple of my passages, right after the TBR science passages. It is true, some questions are easy, but the book excels in covering a broad spectrum of perspectives on a particular topic. For example, say you're studying lenses. Most of you will have memorized the basic m=-i/o equation, lensmaker equation, and will know how to solve problems related to those. TPR science workbook asks about all these weird scenarios outside of the primary equations, and is useful for seeing the same issue in a different light.
