So i know that there are some experimental questions in the science sections that might not be graded. Does CARS have the same experimental questions as the other sections, or does everything count?

i don't think CARS has experimental questions......... i don't think it tests "the core skills" or whatever they are called. i think experiemental design AND LOGIC are covered in the other 3 sections..... i wrote recently so can't say too much more

put another way....

i just wrote and i don't think they snuck any light AAMC content into CAR's. and i can't remember exactly but i don't think any passages were overly scientific or medical...... i wondered about the same thing as you beforehand.......... it might have helped to have some real world knowledge (like economics) for a few questions. i don't necessarily mean economic knowledge, more familiarity.

P/S had some horrible experimental passages............... like i had to read parts of the question more than 10x and start diagramming stuff.

hope i'm remembering this correctly... and i also hope this is consistent with being able to speak about exam experience (esp. when they don't give that much guidance in some areas)
