summergirl Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi, I studied organic chem from TPR and Kaplan and found TPR much much harder than Kaplan. I would get 20-40% wrong on TPR passages from the science workbook! But for Kaplan I got ONE wrong out of the five chapters of review questions that I did, and I stopped doing them because I find them so easy. The same thing goes for physics. I would get 20-50% wrong on TPR, and got almost perfect on NOVA's physics practice problems... The problem I found with TPR is that they would try to teach me some new concepts in the questions. For example, I would get a lot of questions wrong and I look to the solutions and I realized that there is a piece of information that I was not aware of... Does anyone else feel this way?? And do you think TPR's questions are more representative of the actual MCAT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And do you think TPR's questions are more representative of the actual MCAT? Add-on to the above, I have found 8 mcq following lecture in EK books were harder den 30 mins passage based questions/3-4 passages for every lecture which are to be found at the end of the biology etc section? However for the lecture's I know, I only get 1 question incorrect for a given passage in 30 min in class thingy. What is the relative difficulty level of those questions in the EK "lecture" books not 1001 questions series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
