Hi
please help
i want buy full length exams but cant decide between TBR or examcrackers
and does TBR come with answers and explanation ?
how is it graded please let me ASAP
 
I'm not sure about the EK FL's, but I do have the TBR ones since I'm taking the class. I think if you're not in the class you can only purchase CBT's 1-7. Anyway, they do have answers and explanations, and they are quite good if you ask me. The sciences are great on the TBR exams. They're really tough and really make you apply concepts in ways you may never have thought of before, and I think that'll really help on the actual MCAT in case there's a wacky passage or two per section.

As far as scoring, there is a curve provided for each test separately. There curves are a bit generous compared to the AAMC curve. On TBR CBT 4 I got a 43/52 on PS which scaled to a 12, while on AAMC 7 I got the same raw score which ended up being a 10. I think its because the TBR tests are supposed to be more difficult.
 
any idea about which is better Gold Standard Practice MCAT CBTs Onlineor the berkeley Review ?
please let me know Asap its regarding practise exams
Thanks alot
 
Sorry but I haven't got a clue which one is better personally. I have HEARD that TBR is better just because they make you work hard on every question and really strain your brain for answers. They also have some crazy passages to get you ready for the wacky passages on the mcat. But again, that's just what I have heard, I have no personal experience with the Goldstandard CBTs
 
Between BR and EK, easily BR. EK has horrible FLs. If you run a search on EK FLs, you should get some opinions on it that echo the same sentiment. Now for BR and GS, if you have the money, BR. Otherwise, GS is a fine choice. Keep in mind that GS's science scores will be a couple points lower than normal and their verbal is bad.
