Most Skippable AAMC Practice Test?

Alright, I'm running out of time and might have to drop one of the AAMCs from my list. Which would you suggest? Any particular reason?

NOTE: I've already done 3, 4, 5, but I included these just for reference.

in this case, the only one that is okay to skip at this point is 6. 7-10 are important.

I didn't do 6. I didn't feel like I was missing anything. As chicago said, just make sure you do 7-10 to get an idea of where you can expect your score to be.

WOW! A LOT of people marked "3"! ...Being as 3 is FREE, that makes no sense! If you're going to skip 1, skip 4 as it is the least representative test you have to pay for. If a CBT is free, I'd take advantage of it. Just use it earlier in your studying.... There are at least 4 free CBTs out there offered by major prep companies (incl. AAMC #3). I'd take 'em all since they don't cost but can be useful early in one's preparation.....

I voted for 4 for this exact same reason.

AAMC 6! Too easy, it inflates your score IMO.

Things are free for a reason. Yea, I'm very skeptical person.

But if it's "too easy," isn't this accounted for in the scaling of the score?

Not really. The scaling for some of the AAMC tests are weird IMO. For example, in AAMC 6, a raw score in the 39-41 range for physical sciences is a 10. In AAMC 10 (which I thought was more difficult), 41-43 in physical sciences is a 10. 30-31 is a 10 in AAMC 6 verbal. However, in AAMC 10 verbal (which I think is the most difficult AAMC verbal section), 31-33 is a 10, and 34-36 is an 11. Now that's pretty harsh scaling for a difficult verbal section!
