It wasn't very hard time-wise, I just studied during my frees. Biology did help a bit during during first year of med school when we studied physiology, but it won't be a huge disadvantage if you choose not to do it. Reading is good, but every other candidate will be doing it too so it won't make you stand out. Doing a course would be a bit different and would also show ability to study independently so I would say it's a good idea. that's good to know, thank you for the advice !
