Anyone care to comment on the reflectiveness of the online material? I've heard/read that the higher numbered exams are most recent (>7). I'm just looking for some fresh posts/responses.

Thanks

If you are a medical student, as your status indicates, why does it matter? Just curious.
 
Other SDNers can feel free to correct/clarify, but the general consensus that that 3-6 tend to be easier with 7-10 being more reflective. I can't speak to 11 since it came out after I took the actual exam. I personally found 9 and 10 to be a better approximation of the actual MCAT than the others and given its recency I would expect 11 to be a good approximation as well.

AAMC 11 is on the money! THE BS section reflects the actual MCAT I took in January. Heavy on biochem and classic genetics with very little physio. Focus on that test. Overall AAMC test correlate preety well expecially 7-10

I agree with you except that the real deal feels WAY MUCH HARDER than the practice exams. The scores do tend to correlate (I scored a 35 in AAMC 11 and my overall average for all practice exams was a 34). In the end I got a 34.

Verbal feels longer and BS its more tricky than usual.
