Got my test May 8th. I'm good on the physics and chem/orgo but I'm just now getting to Bio and I am so weak in this area. I forgot so much of it.

I have EK, TBR, TPR Bio books and Campbell bio. Strategy is to go through EK and use campbell or tbr if I don't understand a concept well.

Will that work?
 
Many ppl believe you have to read TBR/TPR if you are weak in bio, but not true.
EK is way to go for bio + TPRH for passages. You dont even need to know much for BS section these days.

I am doing the TPR science workbook passages, and the biology ones are tough.
 
From what I've gathered on this site and based on my own experiences with TPR, I would have to say go with TPR.

You really don't need to know a lot of factual details for the BS section, so TBR and the textbook are overkill and most likely inefficient use of your time.
 
Hey, I just posted in the 30+ habits thread about my experience as someone with virtually no bio foundation, and I included the materials and complete breakdown of my schedule by chapter. I used a combination of EK and TBR Bio and ended up with a 14. From these forums, it seems like TPRH science has some great practice passages, so they could be even better - I wouldn't know. Hopefully I can be of some help. Hang in there!
