I know this question has been asked in the past, but my friend is taking the BR CBT's because he already took the AAMC CBT's ( with the exception of #11) last year. He is a retester for the June MCAT coming up. He just took BR CBT #4 and got a 25. Is there some sort of rule of thumb to even loosely correlate the BR tests to the AAMC CBT's or even to the real deal MCAT? He really needs some input so he can judge wehater he should postpone taking the MCAT or not based on his performance on these BR fl tests. Thanks so much!

There's no hard fast rule that's going to work for everyone. The TBR CBTs are decent, but they definitely have a different style than the AAMC practice exams. I personally have been 1 to 2 points lower on average for TBR than on AAMC, but that is going to vary a lot from person to person.

Is the verbal actually harder on the AAMC than TBR? I'm averaging around 6 on TBR verbal and have so far gotten a 7 on AAMC 3. Should I postpone my exam from 6/16 to a later date?
