TBR General Chemistry 1 - Stoichiometry and passages

Notes
For all new content (and for subsequent review of that
content 1-2 weeks later), I did 3-5 practice passages
with in-depth grading/review.

I reviewed amino acids flash cards often until I had

memorized structures, three-letter abbreviations, and
one-letter abbreviations. Also, I reviewed the TBR Biology
books in order, but were I to do it again, I would start with
Book 2, which focuses on cell biology and biochem, and then
TBR Biology 1 - Nerve and Muscle and passages; make amino acids flash cards do Book 1, which focuses on physiology.
TBR Physics 1 - Translational Motion and passages (I did passages on the new
content for every section below, so I won't continue to note it below)

Kaplan Behavioral Sciences 1 - Biology and Behavior, Anki for new terms
TBR General Chemistry 2 - Atomic Theory
TBR Biology 2 - Heart and Lung
TBR Physics 2 - Forces, Circular Motion, and Gravitation

Kaplan Behavioral Sciences 2 - Sensation and Perception

Kaplan Behavioral Sciences 4 - Cognition, Consciousness, and Language
TBR General Chemistry 5 - Buffers and Titrations
TBR Biology 5 - Endocrinology and Immunology
TBR Physics 5 - Periodic Motion and Waves
Kaplan Behavioral Sciences 5 - Motivation, Emotion, and Stress
Break Day
Examkrackers Chem Ch. 2 - Intro to Organic Chemistry and 30-minute exam
Examkrackers Chem Ch. 3 - Oxygen Containing Reactions (basically
continuation of Organic Chemistry) and 30-minute exam
TBR General Chemistry 6 - Gases
TBR Biology 6 - Structure and Function in Cells and Viruses
TBR Physics 6 - Sound and Doppler

I reviewed some Anki Psych/Soc flash cards almost

every day. If I found a Kaplan explanation to be confusing, I
used the Princeton Review to clarify or, more often than not,
just used wikipedia. I did the discrete questions for each Kaplan
chapter and also mixed in the TPR passages.

At this point I started doing passages on the previous

weeks' topics, fitting them in where I could amid the
new stuff. I continued this throughout my course of
study.

This is where I would start with bio now.

60 questions from the AAMC Biology Question Packs, and 60 questions from

I spent a lot time reviewing the questions I missed, reviewing

content I had already covered, and making note of content I
had yet to cover. Were it available, I would have started
using the AAMC Section Bank (with 300 Qs) around this
time in order to practice biochem and psychology/sociology.
These are more important questions to do than the other AAMC
Question Packs.

For all of the remaining Psychology and Sociology

sections, I was using Princeton Review in conjunction
with Kaplan. Not the most efficient way to do it probably, but
by the end I felt pretty good about all the content.

Please see my post on how to review practices passages

and practice tests for more information on my methods.

I didn't use a lot of Examkrackers content (I did use all of their

30 minute exams), but I thought that their two Organic
Chemistry chapters and their Laboratory Techniques
chapter were excellent. You can get a lot of easy points on
the test just by knowing the lab techniques.

I would not use the Princeton Review full-length tests again.
Were I to take the test now, I would do the AAMC
Official Practice Test (the scored one) at this point.
While reviewing, I started working in relevant passages
to practice areas of weakness. I did this for subsequent
tests as well.

Test Day

I found the test to have some good classical science passages,

but it lacked newer, research-based passages, which are
emphasized on the official AAMC full lengths. The CARS section
was terrible, and the psychology section was a mix of repurposed, psychology-themed verbal passages and new
psychology and sociology passages. Overall it wasn't as good
as EK, but was probably better than the Princeton review. If I
were studying again, I would take Examkrackers Full Length #4
in its place.

I re-read all of the passages and reviewed some of the

questions/answers.
