I just started kaplan and am really doing all the work for it. Then i took the translational motion kaplan topical test. It really kicked my a$$. I was never a superstar in physics, but it took my confidence away. I am still trying to figure out the answers. How much more difficult is the real mcat in compared to the topical?

I thought that topical test was much harder than the real thing. The topical tests are all pretty hard in general. Try not to worry about how you are scoring, and concentrate on understanding the thought process instead. (Easier said than done, I know. :p )

Don't worry about timing yourself right now. You'll start doing that later in the program, but right now you should work on the passage reading and question strategies. Also try not to focus on how many questions you are getting wrong or right. Remember that these tests are just for practice and they don't really count. What matters is how you do on the actual test, not on the Kaplan tests. Are you looking at the explanations after you take the tests?
