just a quick question.
it seems everyone is doing brs instead of the kaplan notes now or its just me?

also does it really make sense to watch the videos and read the lecture notes? wont it be better to watch the videos and read another book say BRS to complement?
thanks

I can only say what I did, and if you study Kaplan note really well, and FA, you will get a great score. BRS is also good. Just pick something and stick with it. I personally felt the videos with Kaplan were worthless

thaanks for the info. i have looked at the brs though and i think (at least for biochem) that its more easy to go along with cos of the pictures and all that. but juat another question, ARE the book ratings at the back of FA really helpful or should e ignored?
thanks

I found the ratings good, but again, try to focus on one or two good books and know them well. If you study too many books and don't really know any of them well, you may do worse on the exam.
