Full Length Exam Scoring

[Summerlax2016]

Anyone else notice a big difference between the TPR, Kaplan, and NS exams?

Going by percentage of questions correct:
Exam/Chem/Cars/Bio/Pysch/total percent correct/ score
TPR 2/68%/63%/75%/80%/ average 72%/505
NS1/65%/75%/66%/73%/ average 70%/ 509
NS2/ 61%/79%/71/64%/ average 69%/ 509
NS3/ 63%/77%/63/81%/ average 71%/ 509
Kaplan 1/ 73%/77%/65.5/64.5%/ average 70%/ 503

I know that the percent correct isn't the same as the "percentile score", but a 6 point difference for an identical percentage just seems a little weird. Probably overthinking it, just curious is all, mostly focusing on why I'm getting them wrong.

Kaplan and TPR are much lower scores than aamc/real mcat scores, idk about next step tho. I got only 501 on 3 TPR fls but 515 on real thing

yeah that is what I have seen that kaplan and TBR to be low, just was curious as to why such a disparity. In the end I guess it doesn't really matter, its all good practice till january.

my guess is just that they deflate scores so when you score "high" on the real thing they're able to say "oh John Doe had a 12 point increase proving our system works." which obviously helps sign more people up for a class
