I've been doing more verbal, and now I'm averaging about a 9 , I know it's low to some people, but I'm improving and it makes me feel more confident. I've learned that my highlighting method wasn't working. I was too concerned about not missing highlighting something that I wasn't focused anymore. Now, I just read the passage straight, try not to reread back (I think you mentioned that Bennie) and try to show...

At the moment I'm just thinking about attending both of these classes just to take notes because if I sign up for it, the exams will stress me out since I'm already taking 18 credits. that's alot of classes...and extras. Make sure you are not getting in too deep.

My friend took the Kaplan course and got a 37. If you work your butt off, I'm pretty sure you'll be fine (but ideally, not the best from what I read around here).

I wouldn't go through two sources for bio review unless you only read the books once. For instance, read the TPRH early in the week and then read EK for the second go through at the end of the week. Even then, I think it's better to just go through TPRH twice. Anyway, in your case I'd definitely go with TPRH Bio over BR Bio. While BR has better passages, you'll still get some solid practice with EK 1001 Bio and TPRH SW.

I have no clue how indicative they are of the real thing since I haven't taken it yet, but lots of people on the...
