AAMC Score Conversion

I know there have been questions about AAMC FL scores ad nauseum but I have one more question 😳

I see the conversion charts here (http://www.e-mcat.com/info.aspx?cmd=score) but I'm confused about the differences between "MCAT Practice Test X" and "MCAT Practice Test X Full Length". The "Practice Test X" lists scores that correspond with the actual number of questions on the MCAT (ie: 52 Q's on BS and PS and 40 Q's on VR) but the "Practice Test X Full Length" charts list them out of 77 Q's for BS and PS and 60 Q's for VR!

Can someone tell me what's going on here? Thanks!

The first scoring chart (52-40-52) is for the current CBT versions of the AAMC FLs. The other chart (77-60-77) is for the older paper-based versions of the AAMC FLs.
