Are Kaplan books really worth it? Other recommendations to use instead for content review
Hi! I'm just getting started planning my MCAT study prep and deciding what resources I should purchase to get started. I just graduated from undergrad and am planning on starting to study ASAP. My full-time job starts in early June, so I want to lock in and grind content review as much as possible before I start working 9-5. My current plan is to take the MCAT early September, start by content reviewing with Anki and maybe Kaplan, then practice tests using UWorld Qbank and maybe Bootcamp (got this for free), then AAMC practice exams for the last month.
However, throughout my undergrad, I never did well with reading textbooks. I was fortunate that I never needed to purchase any textbooks in undergrad ever, as most of my courses were optional. I was able to get by just fine (3.95 GPA) using just class notes and online videos. I feel I learn the best from watching review videos online, and am worried that me purchasing the Kaplan books for content review will be a waste of my time and money, as I'm not a textbook person. Is it worth it for me to spend the money on these books, or are there any other resources out there that might be better suited for my learning style?
