What do you think the difficulty level is of the kaplan full lengths comapred to the real thing? I find them pretty easy, almost as if they are some sort of scam? Am I the only one like this or are they pretty accurate to the real thing? If anything, which sections are they most similar or most differerent from. Thanks, Helps a bunch.

In my opinion:

Kaplan PS = Harder (but more generous scale)
Kaplan VR = Easier, Doesn't "feel" like the real VR section (scale is appropriate)
Kaplan BS = About the same/maybe a little harder/maybe a little more/more detailed Orgo. than the real thing (scale is appropriate.)

In my opinion, the Kaplan BS sections are the most similar to the AAMC BS sections. The questions in the Kaplan PS sections are significantly harder than those in the AAMC PS sections, and the Questions/Passages in the Kaplan VR section are easier/different than those in the AAMC VR sections. Kaplan DOES seem to adjust the scales accordingly, so that the results are valid.

Good Luck,
