So I feel like I have to plan very well from now on since the time is ticking..
I have quite a bit of resources but I am not sure how to distribute well over the time..

I have left with
121 verbal passages (EK + TPR) and 49 additional passages from Kaplan workbook. People say Kaplan is not as similar as AAMC so I am not sure If I have to do work on those anyway.. I'm doing poorly on Verbal, recently touched 31/40 but not as consistent

So during those 55 days should I distribute the passages evenly? because I will also do FL's starting in about 10 days (as soon as I finish content review as I'm on day 49 in 3 month SN2ed schedule..) If I distribute evenly, that means I have to do passages even on the days I'm doing FL's which is not too bad but just wondering.. Also Should I do Kaplan workbook too? or is it waste of time concerning how much time I have left?

For FL's
I have 10 GS CBT FL's
and AAMC 3-11, total of 9 FL's
Old paper Kaplan 9 FL's (those with 100 min science sections)

and I also have an access to Old AAMC tests, those with verbal sections of 60 questions. I haven't verified yet if the questions ever overlap with the AAMC CBT's since these AAMC paper FL's still say 3R to 10R and stuff

anyhow I have a lot of FL's.. that means I can do 1 FL per day for about 30 days prior to the test and I'm sure people will say I am gonna burnout.. But at the same time I wan to make the best use of what I have and do MCAT at my full potential, my resources. help pleasee
 
I'm confused..You said you're following SN2ed's schedule?
Then why not just follow through the schedule until your test date?

Anyway, myself and many people on SDN object to taking that many FLs in that short a period. You would probably need at least two days between FLs, for reviewing questions you got wrong, reviewing content in areas of weakness, and to recover from that traumatizing experience. 🙁 Just blindly taking FLs for practice is probably not the best idea.

For the VR, I'm sure there would be a lot of different ways to do this, but I'm sticking with SN2's schedule and divided all the passages up so I would do about 3~5 passages a day.
 
I also have the 100 question FL tests by kaplan. Are those worth going through?

Yeah I'm following Sn2's schedule but I was wondering if AAMC practice FL's will be enough. I was also thinking that I wouldn't need 2 days for the review and breaks every so often. So I'm basically asking for opinions about taking FL's everyday or at least every other day and see if it's doable.

For VR, I can do like 3 passages for 55 days including FL days. Or, I can finish all my passages in 3 weeks or so and work VR solely with FL's.. wondering which will be better.
 
Quality >> Quantity of studying. I don't see how 30 FL's is gonna help where 15 or even 10 won't....
