I've just about had it with the kaplan physics subject tests. Usually, kaplan subject tests are pretty easy when it comes to orgo,gen chem, bio but for some reason these physics questions often involve tons of calculations and are just plain hard. Secondly, the review book, imo fails to prepare you for these tests.

However, ironically I've been doing better on the physics topicals+section tests so I'm thinking its just these physics subject tests that contain 40 discrete questions which don't seem to mirror mcat question types at all and just involve dumb calculations that just waste ur time.

can anyone else vouch for this?

You're wasting your time with the subject tests for Physics. I would only stick with Topicals and section tests if you're scoring above 70 % on the topicals and section tests you're fine. I personally love the Kaplan PS review books (Gen chem and Physics).
