Which full-lenghts are better to use (thus which ones whould I get?) ExamKrackers or AAMC? Which ones will give me a better idea of how I will perform on test day?

The popular opinion here seems to be that the AAMC ones are the best predictors of your score although they may not accurately reflect the difficulty of the exam.

Sounds right to me.

AAMC exams are a must. Only do the EK exams if you have free time and they are free or you have "extra" money.

So then how can they be the best predictor of your score if they do not accurately reflect the difficulty of the exam?

The whole point of the MCAT is to rank different students against each other. Since there's so many versions of the test, it wouldnt be fair if someone got an easier test and could get a much higher score than someone else that is exactly at the same level. So, it ends up being this way because each test is curved differently. So a test can be really easy and can be curved harshly (or not so leniently) and if it is really hard then it can be curved very generously. This is how the AAMC practice tests work. If you treat the AAMC tests like actual MCATs when you take them then they should predict your scores pretty accurately.

I heard you can get 3 AAMC tests for 80 bucks. But at their site it says that they are 40 each.
