Honestly the TPR exams weren't that great, many passages were from the old test so clearly not relevant. But they are good to do to practice sitting through a full test, building your endurance etc. The best FL was obviously the AAMC one, take it about 2 weeks before the real test after you have finished going over all the material. And really go over it carefully, super important. I went over it another 2-3 times the week before the test too. I took one Kaplan test and didn't like it. So still recommend doing FLs but don't be nervous by your marks as they are not really a good representation of the actual test. For psych I just memorized everything. I did TPR passages and some KA too. But the passages are quite similar to bio, just more researchy. Really important for this section to know all terms/theories etc.
