AAMC Verbal: Is it similar to MCAT verbal?

[Jonari]

Just wondering, because I thought the passages on the Verbal portion were quite short and not that long & extensive compared to other study materials such as Kaplan, EK, etc etc. Thanks!

Mine felt more like the EK 101 with a couple passages like Kaplan. I took the test on 9/11.

I dont understand this question. Are you referring to the AAMC practice tests?
Those ARE actual MCATs from past years released so you have an accurate sample tests. The other practice material was written by test prep companies to EMULATE the MCAT. In general, most people think stuff from Kaplan, TPR are slightly more difficult long and intimidating, but that's what trains you to dominate on the actual MCAT.

i felt the only section of the actual mcat that resembled the aamc practice tests was the verbal section. It was pretty straightforward, unlike the rest of the exam. The practice exams from TPR, Kaplan etc are much harder.
