Hi there,

I just took the Nextstep Diagnostic MCAT. I was wondering if anyone knows if Nextstep or Kaplan's diagnostic is harder, or which one is more representative of the actual AAMC exam? Would it be a good idea to take both diagnostics?

Also, if I scored a 508 on the Next Step diagnostic, with no studying yet, would it beneficial for me to take the full length TPR Demo Exam to get a more accurate score of where I am at?

Thank you!
 
I don't know a lot, but I know TPR diagnostic is suuuuper deflated to scare you into buying their stuff, so I would say take Kaplan's diag over TPR
