Better than any other test prep. company, and overall, pretty accurately.

They do really feel most like the old MCAT tests that I have taken. Kaplan just felt somewhat different, but I'm not sure why.
 
When I used Exam Krackers, they advised buying the practice exams i.e. old exams from the testing company itself.

That's what I used and they are the best practice tests out there.

I think EK verbal is good practice, no doubt. However, their tests just don't "feel" like the AAMC ones. I just don't see a strong connection between the two. Kaplan is different as well, but for prep EK takes the cake.

EK is great review! Way better than Kaplan!

Their practice exams are harder, and so are the 30-minute exams. Don't fret over an 8. I got 8s in EK and 11s in the real thing. Trust the prep. It'll serve you well.

I've only taken one EK exam, but I have to admit that in comparison to Kaplan tests it felt "easier". It's not that the test actually WAS easier mind you, it's just that I felt like the questions and passages directly shoved you into seeing the "underlying basic science" of the question. I've found Kaplan passages to be very difficult to do that with at times. I'm mainly talking about the science passages though.
