GS Exams

Hey everyone!
I'm thinking of purchasing the GS exams for my retake and was wondering if anyone had any feedback on these newer exams? I did a search but couldn't find what I was looking for. Thanks in advance!

I've been doing the GS science, sections, havent done the verbal. I like the science sections a lot =]

Thanks for the info anybody else have experience with these??

Having taken 3 of them so far, PS is still kicking my ass in terms of the amount of calculation problems they have on the tests. I know the material but I'm not moving fast enough to finish the problems so I've actually liked that so far.

Verbal in my opinion is tougher than the real AAMC too (the revised one). There's a lot of passages where they aren't really straightforward and has a lot of crap that you have to wade through to get the answer which is more crap than I've experienced on practice AAMCs. I'm not sure what I think of the verbal to be honest, because I consistently score 10s/11s on the practice ones but I've been scoring 8s on the GS ones.

And BS is pretty good too. I think they've been pretty straightforward so far!

Thanks!! How are you going over the exams??

i havent tried the verbal yet cause my strategy i use really ONLY works on AAMC because aamc is very main idea/idea oriented and I do terrible on other sources. How would you describe the verbal in terms of detail vs idea orienteD?

Do GS exams have good answer explanations? I love Kaplan and TBR's long answer explanations
