hey,

if anyone out there has taken any Princeton Review science sections, please post your opinion. I took a PR bio section today and did very poorly, especially compared to how I did on the August MCAT and how I normally do on practice bio sections. it was the princeton reivew A-D tests- test A.
do any of you find the PR tests to be harder or was i just having a bad day or do i just not know my stuff yet?
any advice or opinions appreciated!

PR tests A-D are garbage, garbage, garbage. I assure you they are not a good representation of the real exam. Honestly, do not waste your time on those tests. Focus on the 480 series and the science workbook and get your hands on other practice passages from Kaplan or EK. Do yourself a favor and burn that A-D book.

P.S. why don?t you return my PM regarding the sale of practice material?

they were much harder (aka , i could get 11-12, vs 5-7).

But, i've been worrying they are just my weak area. so, maybe they are THE place to practice. Because, even with non PR, i occasioanally get 8's to intersperse 11-12's. I think however, PS is done for me, and I should focus on teh other too, because i'm doing good enough (as long as the 8's don't return).

Is it just me... or do the PR tests seem extremely conceptual compared to other tests?
