General question. So, due to a few outlying circumstances, I fell a little bit behind in my Kaplan schedule and ended up not being able to take tests 3-10 in favor of doing AAMC tests 3-10 before my test this Friday. So I guess I just have a few things that worry me.
I know Kaplan is more difficult in general, but that the tests compensate with the curve and blah blah. I also know that AAMC's are close to the real thing, but in general, I hear that all of them are easier than the real thing as well, and there likely isn't any curve compensation or whatever.
I guess my question is, I like, in general, the difficulty of the AAMC's, but am I lulling myself into a false sense of security? Did I seriously hurt myself by not taking the rest of the Kaplans? If there's one thing I certainly have learned from the AAMC's, it's to not be as liberal with guessing as I was on the Kaplans I took. That hit me pretty bad on my first AAMC.
