ExamKrackers Full Lengths?

[studiene]

So I've been contemplating purchasing four of ExamKracker's full length MCAT practice tests, but before I drop the $150, I'm just curious if anyone else has used them before and if they're at all representative what will be seen on the new MCAT? Some of the content review I've done so far has involved using the EK 9th edition books, and I do like them and the questions they provide at the end of sections.

Eh, they're ok. They really got me down because I did badly on them, but I did way better on the actual test. Theyre ok for practice, but definitely harder than the real thing, in my opinion at least

Nextstep, as someone posted above, is better

Thanks for your input guys! I have the NextStep exams as well as the AAMC ones, but I might just buy the EK ones just to make sure I have enough practice test experience. Any other companies that you might recommend for tests?

From what I remember, Princeton and Kaplan are a lot harder than the actual MCAT

There's no discount for buying more than one. You can buy one and compare it to Nextstep and Altius, both of which give away a free test. Then compare all three to the AAMC material you've used and come to your own conclusion about what best matches the AAMC style.

Heard anything about Altius? I have those as well but I don't have any of the Kaplan or PR ones.

I used EK and NS, both were great. I think variety is good, especially at this stage of the game where there is dearth of official AAMC content.

NS: Good for all but CARS.
EK: Good all around.

Why is the NS CARS bad?

Dunno. Wasn't representative for me. Averaged 125 through 6 tests and got 122 on the real.

Interestingly enough, the opposite happened with me.

Just shows it's not very representative.
