Old AAMC exams and the new ones on the website

I downloaded a torrent containing AAMC exams 3R 4R 5R 6R 7A... But, I noticed these are older exams because the first section is 77 questions long and timed at a 100 minutes. Are the official AAMC exams posted not the website updated ones or will they contain the same questions in a different format?

The old exams you downloaded are the older, longer version. The ones you purchase online from AAMC are the newer version which have less questions/less time.

However, all of the questions on the new CBT version will also be on the older "R" versions. The new ones were only created by removing some of the questions from the longer versions. I believe the old ones only go up to test 7, so 8-11 will be fresh.

I used both to study. I started taking the longer versions to build stamina, then eventually switched to the new CBT versions. But I always went back and did the extra passages on the R version that did not make the cut onto the CBT.

Hope that helps. It can be confusing until you actually look at both sets of exams. Good luck.

Thank you, that's great. I wanted to know which ones to purchase so I guess I'll purchase exam 10 and 11... Or maybe just one of them. I don't think I have to do more than 8 exams for practice.

Does anyone know if princeton passages prepare you well for the actual exam? I have the science workbook.
