Do practice test scores actually reflect test day performance?

[AnEyeLikeMars]

I was wondering if people who have taken the MCAT could comment on whether their scores were the same as, better than, or worse then their practice scores. Also, please mention which practice tests you took (TPR, Kaplan, AAMC). Thanks!

I only used the AAMC tests. I "took them" in order. (It's in quotes because when I sat down to do them I did all 215+ questions in one sitting without a break.) I prepared for 5 weeks for the MCAT. I started taking the practice tests about a week and half into this and my scores steadily went up and ranged from a 30 (3R) to a 38 (8). My actual score was 36. I think I got that one of the practice tests, maybe 6R or 7... I am very happy with my score.
