Best source for Full length exams?

[BruceyWayney96]

I am in the process of taking full length exams weekly in preparation for exam day. i was wondering what the communities opinion on the best source for full length exams are. i have done the Next step free full length they give, and thought the exam seemed alright.

to put in terms of video game ranking systems, i was told AAMC full lengths are S-Rank and are the best predictor of what your score will be like on exam day. I was told Next Step was A-Rank and a good predictor. i have spoken to a classmate who has taken the kaplan full lengths and they said they were not great as they are still written in the guise of the old exam, and they ranked it a C.


what do you guys think? where do you recommend to go for full length exams? i want to make the better choice before i spend the money.

In terms of similarity to the actual exam, I would recommend the following in this order:

1. AAMC
2. Kaplan
3. NextStep
4. Anything else.

As MCATKINGS said, I agree that it is a great idea to use a variety of exams from a variety of companies. In addition to this, I would recommend centering your practice on the practice problems from the AAMC. You want to develop an AAMC mindset for test day and not a Kaplan, NextStep, or Princeton Review Mindset. For this reason, I would recommend using all the AAMC Practice Problems and then supplementing with a variety of exams from a variety of companies.

After reading google doc comments of legion MCAT takers from last year and Jan. this year, it is simple.

AAMC, AAMC, AAMC (FL, Section Bank, Qpack, even flashcards).

Familiarity does not breed contempt. Do it twice last month of exam. There seem to be a common thread amongst the high scorers, many do them twice.

Use whatever you want for content review, but for last month, nothing but AAMC

After AAMC, then you just pick and choose. Next Step for C/P, BB; not for CARS and P/S. Altius good for P/S. UWorld good for physics, P/S. Khan note/ quizlet for P/S.

All high scorers have a common thread, they all get P/S packed.

But do AAMC twice, all of them, if you want a high score.

Familiarity does not breed contempt. You get to think like AAMC test makers.
