So I've been studying pretty intensely on/off since the end of May. My test is Sept 13th and I've been relatively getting consistant 10s on both science sections w Kaplan exams and the AAMCs. I had a coupe 11s in bio and physical sciences as well. However my verbal was never up to par. The highest I've ever score was a 9 whentaking a practice CBT but I have been getting 10s (31/40) on the EK 101 practice verbal exams. I'm starting to attribute this to one of two things:
A) fatigue from the physical science section (or not getting right into the verbal mode so to speak)
B) computer screen - its harder to get absorbed into the reading on a computer screen than it is looking down at a book. i feel like i can skim passages quicker in a book.
So what should i do? I mean I took an aamc test the other day and score 10, 7, 11 -- the 7 in verbal turned out to be from messing up 1 passage on completely and getting all 7 questions wrong on it. So maybe I'm starting to adapt, idk? Does anyone else see these varying differecnes between EK and practice CBTs (particularly aamc?)
