Do the R exams and the CBT exams have the same questions?

Should one take both the R exams and the CBT exams for practice?

I know the R exams are longer and that will probably be good for the MCAT. I guess it makes you think harder and longer, especially if you have the pdf exams.

Any opinions?
 
R exams just have extra passages and discretes. The extra passages of the R versions are usually easier so I wouldn't say harder but I guess it would make you work longer. But considering they contain easier passages ones it might actually mess up your timing.

Ps - the extra verbal passages of the R versions are not easier. Some of them are a bit longer
 
Nothing but the official CBT exams should be used as legitimate practice exams used for judging your performance. Anything other resource can be useful - you can definitely good content review out of them, for examle - but I wouldn't put much stock in the scores they spit out.
 
Ok thanks guys for your response. I was going to take some R exams and some CBTS exams for practice after I finish my content review. I heard that the paper test is longer so it can help with long concentration. I guess I can take AAMC 3R and 6R then

WHich R exams did you find the most useful?
