I'm using TBR and EK 1001. I'll have time for one more resource.

I'll be using either the Kaplan Topical Tests or TPRH Science Workbook. What do you guys think?
 
I did Kaplan start to finish, almost every topical test/subject test/etc... included. Worked quite well for me. Only do these things if you have a lot of extra time.

Yeah the topical tests are ridiculously difficult. I got 88% of the questions in TBR Chapter 1 right, but about 50% on the first topical test. Would you recommend these over TPRH Science Workbook?

I highly recommend these! TPRH science workbook is pretty good as well but if I had to pick, I would pick all of the practice material that comes with Kaplan's online course , or the online portion of the classroom course, over TPR. TPR, however, is much better option for doing content review. If you really want to challenge yourself, take kaplan PS, and Bio Section test. Be forewarned that these are incredibly difficult so only do them when you have already taken majority of FL exams. The bio section tests were almost identical to my real bio mcat section.

Thanks a lot buddy! I'm definitely taking all the subject and section tests (I'm finishing TBR early so I can focus on those during my last 1.5 months of studying). The topical tests are ridiculously tough though! But I'll take your word man and keep doing them instead of starting TPRH. Thanks for the advice!
