Mine was a TPR test and I liked that it actually broke down what areas I need to focus on (all of physics basically) and want I am good with already (reproduction, cardiac, lungs)
That being said, I don't think a practice test score *before* you've done any studying really means anything. Sure, it tells you that you don't know jack, but did you really need a practice test to tell you that? People spend weeks, even months preparing for this test, so it's no shock that you're scoring at the button of the scale before you've studied.
The only time I'd really put any stock into a practice score is after you've done all your primary material review/learning. If you're doing the Sn2ed schedule, that would be after you've done all the chapters of TBR, and as you're starting to do practice tests. At that point, your score actually means something.
Taking a practice MCAT before studying is like trying to run a marathon before you've trained for one. Of course you're gonna suck!
I know most of you think it was dumb/waste of a practice test, but this really how I've always done things and I don't know why. I was curious how well I'd do with zero preparation and the MCAT will show how far I came.
Maybe that's just how I see it? I don't know, it is what it is.
