Reddit reviews MCAT Biology Review (Graduate School Test Preparation)

Thanks for the write-up, I'm just starting to study for the MCAT and I found it pretty helpful. I have a few questions:

1. I wanted to get some of the TPR books for content review and practice, but I'm not sure which ones to get because there are so many. Do you mind sharing the book titles of the ones you used? I did a search on Amazon and found this: http://www.amazon.com/Biology-Review-Graduate-School-Preparation/dp/0375427929/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1373685891&sr=1-1&keywords=the+princeton+review+mcat Did you use that one plus the others for each subject? Do those subject specific books have enough practice questions for that topic, or do I need additional books for that? When I did a search for TPR practice books, I found Cracking the MCAT 2013-2014, MCAT Workout, MCAT Elite, MCAT Hyperlearning... not sure which one to use.
   
   
   
2. How many full length tests did you take, and when did you take them with respect to your test date? For the TPR FL's I assume you have to buy the book new to get the practice exams. Do you get 2 different exams for each book you buy or are they the same?
   
   
3. Has the MCAT changed any in the past few years other than removing the writing section? (I just want to make sure the study materials I use aren't outdated).
   
   
4. In the month leading up to your exam, did you devote all your time to studying, or did you have other commitments (work, school, etc.)?
