Default GS-4 experiences?
Hi folks,

Just took GS-4 and got a 31! I'm psyched because this has been my highest GS score so far. But before I do cartwheels, I wanted to hear what others' experiences were with this particular test. Is it one of the easier ones or on-par with difficulty of the other GS tests? ( I know, I know... AAMC is the real standard, but I do want to use these just for a little extra practice. Just curious about how it measures up against other GS exams.)

have u noticed that GS repeats a lot of the questions? I'm not sure how trustworthy GS is anymore.

Yeah, that and I swear some of their stuff seems flat out wrong sometimes! Much moreso than other practice materials, I find that I sometimes just don't understand the question wording.

I just posted on their forum about a question that just didn't make sense.. last I checked, cells have negative membrane potential, right?!


Meh, it's still practice. I gotta say, I do like the videos and the PS is decent.

ya and their passages are so straight forward. Membrane resting potentials are negative; i don't know the context so it's hard to say.

Ya I sometimes found GS answers to be frustrating and wrong
But nevertheless I have to give them credit that they helped me in FL environment and finding my weak spots.

Yes, Vm is negative. What question are you referring to? I will make sure you get an answer in context of the question.

I have taken the GS 3 and GS4, and I found GS 4 to be harder than GS 3....
