Hello everyone,

I was wondering which passages are most like AAMC, BR or TPRH? I seem to only miss like one or two on TPRH BUT I miss like three or four when doing BR. Trying to figure out how worried should I be. Thanks

Many people say AAMC is the most accurate, but I think this is questionable considering the new shifts in Biology and conceptual problems in PS and the ages of the practice tests.

I like AAMC/TPR for Verbal, and TBR for Physics and Bio. You really can't go wrong with any of these though.

TBR's questions are very detailed and they also try to teach you stuff in the passages. there are some questions that you just can't understand until you get them wrong, unless you're fresh out of some pre reqs, you are going to get some of those wrong simply because you don't remember and its not covered in the review.

TBR's intent is to teach you, not to be representative of the actual MCAT.

TBR passages usually only cover the topic of a chapter. AAMC passages, however, combine 2 or more different topics in a single passage. Everyone swears by TBR on this board, but their passages are not representative of the real MCAT. TBR passages really do drill the information in your head though..
