For example, if NextStep gives you a 500, on the real thing that is equivalent to about 492-495. They highly inflate their scores. Stick to Kaplan or Princeton Review. Click to expand... Kaplan is horribly inflated. Trust AAMC official tests only. My average Kaplan score was 40. My average AAMC score was 33. My final was 34.

The difference between a 34 and 40 is a 4-5 percentile difference or less. Kaplan may inflate some, but NextStep is in my experience, is the king at it. I do agree that AAMC is most reliable.
