Kaplan Full Length Thread

Hey guys I decided to create a Kaplan Full Length Thread, for all of you guys who are taking these practice tests please come and share with the rest of us...

i think am just going to do the aamc ones since the kaplan ones are freaking me out. i thought the fl#4 verbal passages where very difficult even though i scored a 10 (unexpected and i dont know if i can rely on it).

I just graded FL4 because I don't like having to wait for kaplan to post the scores....and (sigh) not so good. I scored a 30 on FL2 and was excited that I would improve after that, but apparently not. I went down three points on FL3 and have crawled back up to a 29. I have yet to break a 9 on PS. I studied chem and physics all week and I don't feel like I improved at all.

This is so discouraging....I really wanted/needed to score above a 33 to compensate for some poor grades. Hopefully I'll be able to take an AAMC test this week and see how it goes.

If I wasn't so sick of the material I'd be tempted to scrap the Aug test and try again in Jan....

You'll make it. I consistantly score 29's on Kaplans FLs and when I recently took an AAMC test I came up to a 33. 👍

i took fl 9 today.. what a killer.. i could not understand the first two physical science passages.. does anyone know if the conversion chart in the other thread is correct for fl 9? i asked in that thread too lol but there was no reply.. ty

Can anyone help me for Kaplan \FL 5? For Q #150, I don't get why the spec for Compound D is the way it is. Shouldn't there be 4 peaks, i.e. 1 peak for the methyl H's, and then due to symmetry, shouldn't you get three more peaks (2, 2, 1 H's for each)?

Thanks!

Technically yes... But...
a) the 3 H's on the "butt end" of the benzene are all very similar, so in an actual H NMR graph using a crappy (weak) magnetic field, they would overlap, making it "seem" like there are 3 equivalent H's, that's why it shows it that way
b) from the procedure, you should have seen that it was nucleophilic substitution of an alcohol to a carboxylic acid, making an ester... and that's the only ester in the answers

Notice how close they are (the 1H and 2H in the 7.5 area), and that's a very big graph compared to the one Kaplan shows.

Oh I see Trozman, thanks! Darn, I kinda just wanted to skip all that deduction and just use the spec to answer the q lol.

Did anyone do FL #6? I haven't done the physics yet, but the bio section murdered me in terms of time. I barely finished the last passage and I always finish on time, grr....I've been hovering around the BS 9-10 range for FOUR months now...how pathetic is that?

 

[n0chi]

damn you guys rock...

i did kaplan full lenghts 1,2,3 and i can barely hit 24-26 lol.

whats the secret? hehe

FL 6 bio was ******ed.. there were typos in the in the wording, that made the questions obscure
