what r ur thoughts?
my scores in PS are horrendous - like a 6 compared with 11 AAMC's
my scores in VR are way too high out of my normal range to be taken seriously
and BS wow...
???
I took 7 of the TBR CBTs and all of the AAMCs and this is what I experienced:
PS scores for the TBR tests were ~ 2 pts. less than than AAMC
VR scores were 1 pt. higher than AAMC
BS were about 1-2 points lower than AAMC
Overall scores about 2 points lower than AAMC
On one of the TBR tests (I think either 3 or 4), I scored so low it destroyed my confidence, but I quickly recovered on the next test. In other words, the difficulty of the tests have a wide range so don't get too discouraged by outliers. Use your anger as a tool to strengthen your weak areas the test exploits!
I just took the PS sections for TBR CBTs 8 & 9, because like you said, the VR section gives a false sense of hope. The BS is a pain on the TBR tests, but I think they are good practice.
I didn't have the wide spread you are experiencing on the PS, but that is because I was accustomed to the TBR style of writing from working most of their passages in their books.
Make sure you have stockpile of AAMC tests for the final week or two to recondition yourself for VR.
