PR CBT1 = 26
AAMC #3 CBT = 27

AAMC 4R = 33
AAMC 5R = 32

My target score is a 35

Are these R exams considerably easier than these CBTs? I wonder if its just the format thats throwing me off by this many points...

My next logical step would be to stop using these R exams and just buy the CBTs I suppose. Do you think my target score is realistic at this point? My exams is on 9/7/13, Im kinda freaking out.

Before I just run head first & burn through my remaining CBTs, do you guys have any tips for me?

Did anyone else find the paper exams easier for whatever reason?

There could be many factors behind the difference in your score. It could be your test strategy is suited towards paper tests rather than CBTs. Another possibility is the timing of your tests. For instance, if you took AAMC #3 early on in your study schedule and the paper tests towards the end. Yet another reason could be the material on AAMC #3 hit more of your weakpoints. Overall, there's no real way for us to tell. Try figuring it out by doing a thorough post-test review on your past tests to decipher the problem.
