Practice test score reports from AAMC and how they rate difficulty

[MyInitialsAreJC]

So i was lookin at my PT 9 report to try to find weakpoints i need to review on... and i noticed something weird.

They break up each subject according to the difficulty of the question and then tell you the percentage you got right... but in each section i get the hard ones right and the easy ones wrong. All of them are like:

Inorganic chemistry:
Hard: 100%
Moderate: 50%
Easy: 0%

Does anyone know how they decide whats difficult and what's easy? Im not trying to brag i promise. i just want to know why im missing the 'easy' questions.

AAMC 8 apparently only had 6 easy question on the verbal section.... I ended up getting a 52/60 on the section and got 4 of the 6 easy questions wrong.... so I'm a bit skeptical on their ranking criteria as I am for a few of their scales....
