Aamc Cbt 6

I was wondering how this compares to the actual and the later practice tests (8,9,10)? Is this much easier or about the same? thank you for any thoughts!

anyone?

Its easier than most IMO. The real thing was slightly more difficult in the sciences and much more in the VR

It asks pretty straightforward questions. Compared to 8, it's a lot easier. Don't be discouraged though; I did better on 8 than I did on 6. It's still MCAT-ish.

Really guys, are any of them really much harder than each other? I don't think so because the scaling is approximately the same for each CBT.

thanks everyone and your post makes me happy (that is, if I score higher on 8 as well! )

not sure.. most ppl say the earlier ones are easier. i have not taken the later ones so I cannot say...

I know, I have heard that too. But the scaling of the exams doesn't indicate that. It just shows they are all around the same level of difficulty.

I talked to my TPR teacher and it turns out the guy who said the difficulties aren't any different was right. AAMC 4-6 are based off the old exams where more memorization questions are asked (what does this hormone do, etc.) while 7-10 have more contextual questions (depends on information in the passage). People who have studied more may do better on 4-6 and people who are able to apply new information may do better on 7-10. The word on the street is that the MCAT resembles 7-10 more these days.

Thanks for the info!
