Tell me if I am a lone ranger, but I am finding after completing EK's first two full lengths in 101 Verbal that the passages are better written (subjects aren't as abstract) yet the questions are quite trickier when compared to kaplan's verbal. For some reason, I lose focus doing kaplan's verbal exams. So, I am finding it easier to read the passages, but scoring lower overall (7 and 8). I haven't taken any AAMC to compare, but I hope the mcat isn't this tricky... good prep though. Here is another trend I am finding in myself: as I get more in depth (passages 6 and on) my score significantly decreases from the first 5 passages... anybody experiencing something similar? Is it focus or the questions? Thanks--
