Would those who have taken the MCAT recently say the Kaplan verbal practice tests are close to the actual MCAT? I didn't find Kaplan verbal that bad, so i wanted to know if it's just too easy compared to the MCAT.
 
I always scored better when taking the practice tests. However I was in the comfort of familiar surroundings without the added stress and desperation of test day. I followed the time limits strictly in order to simulate real test conditions. I also took 4 or 5 AMCA tests that they claimed were used as 'real things' in the past. I scored really well on those also, but VR was my weakest score on the actual MCAT.

kaplan verbal's difficulty varies by test. probably need to take several before making a difficulty assessment.
