I think the OP is talking about starting with AAMC test 3, 4, 5, 6 etc. Am I right? In than case, yes, the earlier tests ARE easier because they are from the early to mid 90's! The test has changed quite a bit since then. From what I've heard and experienced, the more recent AAMC tests are a better representation of what you can expect on test day. Good luck 🙂
