For pharma I did Kaplan lecture notes+videos+UW, it all depends on your clinical experience as well.
Biostats was my worst, you wouldn't believe I did not understand anything and made educated guess and there were quiet a few question in each block. I could have done better had I studied biostats.
Behavioural was mostly best next step, what would you say, defence mechanisms, PD it wasn't too bad.

Suggestion: If you think you can grasp biostats than its gona improve your score but if you are like me than I wouldn't waste my time on it and do someting I can.
