Princeton Review Diag's

[DrJohnSez]

Hi everyone... I'm just wondering what everyone thinks of the diagnostics written by the Princeton Review... like are they harder? easier? for the most part I've heard that they're harder but I just want a wide consensus from more people...

I got a 32 (11 BS, 13 PS, 8 VR) on the last diag they wrote (4931)... will that be representative of a score that I actually might get on the real thing? I've never taken a real MCAT before...

(BTW for all the discouraged out there... i went from a 22 (THREE in verbal ) to a 25 to a 32 (8 in verbal )... so don't give up and keep workin hard people! we're almost there!)

They're pretty much the same. I did better on the AAMC ones but that's just because I took them later.

I think they're harder. I went from a 31 composite on 4931 to a 34 composite on 5R. I did have a week in between to study, so that could explain it. I went up to a 37 on 6R and then down to a 36 on the real dealio.

i've heard they are suppose to be harder than the AAMC according to instructors...is 6 R harder than 5R and is 7R harder than 6R? i've herad that 4R is much easier...4931 i made a 29..5R i made a 35...so take it for what its worth...

wow thanks for the answers guys... even though I got a 32 it doesn't guarantee anything there can easily be deviations of about + or - 2 points on the real thing... i just wanted to get an even higher score in practice so i can nail a 30+ for sure...

I think the Diags they administer during the class are slightly harder, and the Practice Tests A-D they give to try on your own are much harder than the real thing.

I just took Practice Test C and scored a 20 (6P, 6V, 8B).

My head hurts. What a nasty test. I need to lay down...
