Hi

So by the end of sophomore year I'll have all of my prereqs done except for the english part. I wouldn't have taken any review course or had any of the review books.

Is it smart to take it at the end of my sophomore year or should I use junior year to study and review for it, but lack information being fresh in my mind?

Also because I was one of the few people to get an A in my cell bio course, I was offered a TA position for the lab part of the course and for the lecture part. I enjoyed both of them, lab a little more. Is there any advantage in choosing one or the other?

I've searched these boards and couldn't find it, don't kill me if i'm wrong 🙁

Study for it during the summer after your sophomore year, and if you feel ready and your practice test scores are good, take it.

Just take it at the end of summer. Buy your choice of study books from eBay/friends/craigslist and study for two months on your own, then take it.

As for the TAing. Just do whichever one you liked more/were better in.
