I have heard that CBT 3 is easier content wise than the other CBTs. Is this true?

Since the content is supposedly easier on #3, is the scale more strict? Basically, my question is whether or not my score on #3 will probably be comparable to my scores on the other CBTs? Could someone with experience provide some insight into this for me please?? Thanks!

Also, I noticed the passages for the Phys and Bio Sciences sections seemed to be very short. Was this test's passage length similar to the other CBTs and the real thing? Are the Verbal passages on CBT 3 similar in length to the other CBTs and the real thing?

I just finished it 5 minutes ago 🙂
Although it was my 1st practice test so I can't really help you on that regard...
I got a 30 though, 10PS/9VR/11BS. I was pretty pumped but recalled hearing that CBT3 was easier than the real thing as a whole :/

By the way, after EK practice problems, and this practice test... I decided I really hate Verbal passages based on philosophers. Urgh, not fun reading for me...

I personally thought CBT3 was hard. I found CBT4 to be a lot easier. However.... CBT3s Verbal was a lot easier.

I got a 30 on CBT 3 also, and I was really happy about that. But, I've heard it's a lot easier than the real thing 🙁.

I finished each section with time to spare, and I was worried that the passages were shorter than the other tests or the real thing..
