Just finished CBT #5: 7/10/9 The Bio on this one felt more like AAMC IMHO.
My thoughts: What makes it difficult is timing. I ran out of time on PS, I had about 21min to do 3 passages and 2 sets of discretes.
Honestly, had I decided to bail on one of the earlier passages and just kept going I think I could have managed a high 8 to low 9 on PS.
As a result of running out of time, I did the last discrets before tackling passage 7. Then, when I went back to passage 7 I mostly skimmed the passage and applied the necessary concepts. Only missed one question. So much for reading passages lol.
VR, I also ran out of time. I had 5min to read the last passage and answer the questions. Luckily it was a science topic I am familiar with which made guessing the last few questions easier.
BS, I finished with about 10min to spare. I used the time to make a couple changes here and there. Too early to tell if that was a poor decision or not. lol
Those who haven't taken it yet, should be able to score "OK" if you can manage time well and approach it with a positive mindset. I oddly feel happy about getting a 25 on this "beast" that's been so hyped up.
Glad to be done with the TBR CBTs. I don't know what to make of them though as none of them seemed consistent due to the varying difficulty of each section from exam to exam. I plan to do one final review of all of the exams and glean as much knowledge as possible.
