Berkeley Review's biological sciences

I've done TBR's CBT #1 and 2 now, and have scored a 6 in BS both times. However, my scores for AAMC #3 and 4 were 10. So my question is, is there a discrepancy in the material that's being tested? I feel that TBR biology is quite ridiculously involved, but there must be a reason they're testing it. So my question is, should I be concerned by my scores and read up on my TBR biology books (which would be excruciating), or is TBR's BS just, well, ridiculous?

stupid question, but were you using the raw score conversions given by TBR for your TBR CBT's?

Because before receiving my TBR score conversion chart, I estimated my mcat score using AAMC score conversions, assuming there wouldn't be too big of a discrepancy.
But there was about a 3-5 point difference.
