Are the Princeton Review diagnostics indicative of the real MCAT. For those of you who have taken the PR diags, please leave some input. It would be highly appreciated

Not really, no. They basically ask you to take a test without practicing any of the material beforehand or really knowing what the MCAT is like. It's expected you do poorly. That way, they can advertise that their teaching raises the average student by xyz points.

The diagnostics are nonsense. I got a 20 on mine (and did very well on the real thing) and I don't know of anyone who broke 25 on their first try. So, don't freak out!

NO, I meant the Full Lengths 1-9 that are on their online student center

 

[Begaster]

The level of difficulty between their full-lengths and the real one was very similar. That being said, the real test had a much friendlier curve.

i think so
i scored 30 on my FLs and got a 32 on the real thing
then again i only took 2 of them but my scores weren't significantly different from what i got on the AAMC. they were pretty much the same. i tended to score higher on science in the AAMC but verbal was more or less the same.
