Difference between aamc CBT# vs aamc #R tests

[mp595]

How are they different?

Or are they the same? Which test is a better indicator? Which test would you recommend?

The R version is the old paper version. To get to the CBT, they cut and paste the older paper tests to change the test into the new format. The CBTs are the best indicator, take those.

I already have R version of tests. Would you still recommend getting the CBT's?

 

[SN2ed]

Definitely. Don't underestimate the change to the CBT. It might seem small, but it can alter your test strategies. I suggest taking the R version of #3-6 and CBT #7-10.

CBT stands for computer-based tests. If the the exam is called AAMC CBT, then it means an AAMC practice test that is taken online in the format of the real MCAT in the e-mcat website (related to AAMC). Some other prep companies offer CBT exams as well such as the gold-standard practice exams but nothing compares to AAMC to be honest.
