HOw is it?! compared to the others

I think some people discussed it a little in the official scores thread.

I went like this:

4R a week ago in pieces: 11, 11, 12
5R in one shot at home: 12, 11, 13
9 yesterday proctored: 12, 9, 12.

I would say that the science sections were very similar to 4&5R, maybe a more passages with questions about experiments, etc. rather than rote knowledge. Many question that I wasn't 100% sure on, but that is typical in my experience.

Verbal was a little tougher than usual I thought, but I was really short on sleep and screwed up the timing so I ended up guessing on a few. I would say overall the verbal section was not significantly different than other AAMC tests. To give you an idea, I got a 46/60 on 9, and averaged 47/60 on the EK verbals (but got over 50 on both 4R and 5R...).
