When TBR is too complex

Although I've enjoyed BR so far, it can sometimes be quite complex. I've already pushed my mcat back because it took me the whole summer to get 3/4 of the way through the content books, and now I'm lagging and finding it difficult to study during the semester.
But what are the best online resources to use for physics?

I have noticed that a lot of times, BR goes into really specific in depth explanations that I have a hard time understanding because I do not understand the fundamentals. Right now, I'm trying to get through the optics chapter. I keep getting confused with each new section in the chapter, and then I waste a ton of time searching online for explanations to specific concepts.

Every MCAT passage is application of a strong understanding of the fundamentals on specific in-depth topics that you will not understand completely. Don't try to avoid that discomfort in your preparation. Embrace it and learn from it.

Right on ZPak!

I am so thankful for the passages that taught me to apply what little I knew to eek out right answers on their questions. Amazingly, you can get all the questions right when you don't fully grasp the passage.

Don't give up acetyl, those are the passages that make the most difference. Many times I wanted to throw the book at the wall but didn't. I am so glad I worked through it. Learn from their explanations.

TBR is not too complex, you just need to step it up. TBR goes over concepts because you will not encounter these exact questions in the exam, you will run into ones that are based upon the concepts underlying the questions. If you don't understand the basics, you will not do well on your exam.

you could use PR if you want for physics. but BR is solid for bio

TBR is excessive for bio IMO, for physics it hits the sweet spot if you're looking to be at the top of the score curve.
