Hey everyone, last year I took the mcat and got 11/9/12. After not getting any interviews at Canadian schools I've decided to retake this summer to try and improve my verbal score.

Now from searching around these forums I found that the general consensus is that BR verbal passages are not representative of the actual VR (too easy apparently). However I noticed that they have recently updated it and it is now a 2013 edition. Does anyone know if this 2013 edition is any better? What about your experiences with reusing the TPR/EK VR passages a year after you wrote the mcat (I think it's been long enough that I've forgotten all the passages...)?
 
How different is the 2013 BR verbal version to the previous editions? Is it more like AAMC now, aka worth buying for more verbal practice in addition to TPRH and EK 101?
