if you practiced with GS tests, how did they compare to the real Mcat scores? Thanks guys!
I only took the free one, and I took it when I probably wasn't at '40' level. I got a 34. Take it for what its worth. I found that free one trickier than the MCAT.
Their curve isn't actually unforgiving in PS and BS, I looked into it when I took the tests. The questions are just trickier and the curve is basically "AAMC standard" with a few ridiculous parts of the curve in VR. I.e. 10/11/12/13 in VR are all raw pt from each other, and the low end of the VR is harsh.
I think I averaged a 31 on the ones I took, but I don't know what to think. The BS questions usually have very poor question stems and answer choices, the PS really, really, really tries to trick you, and the VR is just too easy. Overall, I don't think I've ever seen anyone do worse on AAMC's than GS. Usually people do a good deal better on AAMC, but the VR is just too easy, and it really throws things off, IMHO.
