Does anyone else feel efficient at MCAT style questions, but can't really do college-type questions anymore (at least not as well as MCAT Q's)?

I've been doing pretty well on practice FLs, but find my friend's college physics homework to be very difficult. One of the problem sets required so many different equations to solve lol. It was nuts! My observation about the MCAT is that their questions aren't really that difficult. Instead, it's difficult because of the overall breadth of information and test anxiety. Since everyone talks about the scaryness of the MCAT, it consequently becomes so. I'm thinking maybe this applies more to PS and O-Chem. Bio seems to be the same difficulty.
 
There is definitely some acclimation needed for the mcat. I noticed that my practice test scores increased with each exam independent of content review.
