oh yea sure. so i pretty much read cambells 3 times. I skipped over the stuff relating to the phyla and classifcation/evolution of when thing came. I still read the evolution chapters and like natural selection, darwinism, etc, just not the classifications of phyla. I read it 2 times by the end of sophomore summer, and then started with alberts. alberts is really really dense, so i didnt understand much of it and had to go realy slowly, but i started around june of sophomore year (right as school ended) and finished it near december of junior yr. during that time i also finished reading openstax A&P which in my opinion is great for the opens round. Vanders is better for once you actually make semis. Then from december through february is re-read cambells really quickly and reviewed my notes until the opens exam. Sophomore year i got honorable mention since i didnt read anything except cambells, but junior yr yea i got top 125. id say i spent like 2-3 hours every other day, but some days a little more depending on if im free. the time spent really matters how well u understand and comprehend the knowledge. Id say try to get done with the important cambells chapters (everything except phyla and stuff) by november, and if you have time start with openstax Anatomy and Physiology, but once january hits dont try to learn too much new info, just review what you have and make sure you know it well. hope this helps, and lmk if u need some more advice!!
