Are the paper AAMC tests still accurate in predicting your score?

I've been taking the paper AAMC practice tests, and I am wondering if those are still an accurate reflection of my predicted performance for the real MCAT. My paper scores tend to be higher than my CBT scores.

Thoughts?

Oh, my scores so far have been:

AAMC paper:
9R 12/10/10 32 total
6R 11/11/11 33 total
5R 12/11/11 34 total
8R 11/9/10 30 total
4R 11/9/11 31 total

AAMC CBT:
3 11/10/10 31 total
10 12/10/10 32 total
7 11/11/10 32 total

What do you guys think is a realistic expectation for me on the real MCAT? Advice, please!! Thanks a bunch.

Lol, your average on the Paper tests in 32 dead on and your average on the computer tests is 31.7

That said, I think it's fair to say your paper practice is a good predictor of your computer practice... so the question is, is any aamc a good predictor of your test day. Most people would agree that they are and you'd be looking at around a 32 on the real thing give or take a pt or two.

However, some people respond differently to stress... while most will score in there average some people excel and score higher, others see "new" looking passages and panic and score lower than there averages. Given that you can handle the extra pressure the real test puts on you I think you'll be fine.

Hope that helps
