questions from 1001 series, are they realistic?

Are they realistic in terms of representation of what ends up being on the MCAT? I see a lot of "plug and chug" questions for the physics book which is the first one I am utilizing so I am concerned about them not being challenging enough?

Also.. I will never be able to finish all the 1001 series. How many questions did you guys do from each section when you used 1001? The book seems to recommend doing every 5th problem unless you are getting a bunch wrong in that section, then you can do more. Seem reasonable?

As far as discretes go, 1001 is fairly indicative of what you'll see. Passage-wise, they are not in any way similar to it, so don't take too much stock in that.

But if you can't do simple questions like those in 1001, then you can directly pinpoint content weaknesses, and this is where it definitely shines. And doing a fraction of the questions is the way to go. Good luck.

1001 (physics, chem, ochem) is not supposed to be representative of the mcat. It is supposed the excecise your rusty skills. They suggest only doing every 3rd or every 5th question, until you find a weak spot. Doing every single question would be absurd.

For the record, I did every single EK question. Every one they ever published in every single book.

I just got the book today and ran through the first ~100 problems.. I'm OCD so if I skip problems I will probably get paranoid that those will be the ones I don't know how to do and will show up on the MCAT... Let's see how this turns out.

100 problems a day x 10 days = one 1001 book down. I guess it's possible. I really like these questions though. There aren't that many problems in my TPR books and I am mostly using TPR for the content review. Then I have the Official MCAT Guide and that's pretty much it until I start buying AAMC FLs.. So maybe it is better if I try to do most of the 1001 problems.
