![]() It also doesn't focus on biochem, when I would say over 50% of both my science sections were biochem. The TPR makes you learn everything, and a lot of it is not important. There were 3 terms that were not in the book on the actual test, but 3 out of 59 is pretty good. I just memorized the book and I thought I did well on the psych/soc section. Psych/Soc- This was the best section in my opinion and most representative of the actual test. TPR did a really good job by giving you a lot of passages dealing with oncogenes, but hardly focused on biochem. Also, a lot of my bio passages were heavily biochem, as well as oncogene passages. ![]() Same thing with Bio, very detailed, when they never ask you such detailed questions. The TPR really doesn't focus on that, I studied that on my own. My Physical Science section only had 1 pure Physics passage and 1 pure Gen Chem passage, the rest of the questions were all biochem/amino acid/ enzyme kinetics related. The only thing is that it doesn't focus a lot on biochem. The TPR was also very calculation heavy, where on the actual thing, I only had 2 calculation questions on the Physical Science part, and both were very straight forward, plug and chug. They really nitpick arcane stuff, and it makes you feel like you need to memorize everything. If you use TPR, it asks you the hardest questions, and makes you the most prepared for anything that shows up on the exam.įor Chem/Physics it was the same. The actual CARS on the MCAT was a lot harder than the AAMC FL, but it was nowhere as difficult as TPR. When I took the AAMC FL after about a month and a half of content review, using just TPR CARS, I got a 48/53 on it. However, I felt like it did prepare me well enough for the actual CARS, I learned to pay attention to details, as well as retain the main point of the passage, all within 9-10 minutes per passage. I got one question wrong because I thought the author believed the crystal was "blue", but the answer choice says "The author writes he believed it was "nearly blue". It's very nitpicky, and makes you search for exact words in their long passages to answer questions. On the most part, I didn't find the teachers that helpful, some of them gave me really good tips on how to attack questions and mnemonics, but I stopped going halfway through, and just started studying 8 hours a day using the study material.ĬARS- Their CARS is brutal. Literally, even things that haven't been on the MCAT for 10 years, they'll make sure to cover, most likely to save their asses in case a student says Princeton Review didn't full prepare them etc. Princeton Review makes you learn everything about every subject.
