Which videos give the best content review for mechanics? I am having trouble drawing free body diagrams for incline planes and other complex situations using vector components.
Wikipremed or Khan videos for MCAT Mechanics help

Khan all the way, along with these two websites;http://www.brightstorm.com/science/physics/ and http://www.physicsclassroom.com/Class/vectors/

I liked Khan for inclined planes

Seems like Khan is more focused on all the materials in a college physics 1 and 2 course. Wiki premed seems to condense it slightly and focus more on MCAT specific concepts. I like the idea of building a scienctific base of knowledge using physics as the foundation.
I've been using Wikipremed for my Physics and just got done with the Mechanics portion. They're a little slow(since he's teaching other students in the videos), but helpful IMO. Haven't checked out Khan's videos.
why not both? Khan videos are shorter but less depth, Wikipremed are longer with more depth (as well as MCAT pointers/tips along the way). Probably depends on your strengths/weaknesses as well as your time constraints. Maybe do Khan as a primer, and then if you still have questions move onto Wikipremed. But ultimately, both are great resources.
