Okay. I am utterly shocked right now. I don't want to boast or anything nor am I am trying to show off but I just took my first FL, after a little over a month of content review, and took Kaplans FL 5. I surprisingly scored a 500.

So my question is, is this legit? Has anybody who has taken the Kaplan FL's experience any sort of easiness of FLs as you progress to doing them in order or did anyone notice some were harder than others? I am legit trying to find out because I am utterly in a state of shock of how quote unquote "well" I scored. It may not be great, but it is still better than what I was seriously expecting, touchwood. I legit want to know. I don't want to give myself false hope that I doing well. Thank you so much

Supposedly, you can add like 11 points to your Kaplan score and that's what you get on the actual exam. You're doing good so far. Keep up the good work.

Thank you so much. I honestly was shocked to say the least. Did you find any patterns associated with Kaplan FL's or would you just generalize them as being mostly hard?

@Medgrant I was literally trying to find this and found nothing in the search box. Thank you!

I've only taken 1 and 2 mostly because I found better exams elsewhere. I took FL1 at the beginning before I studied to see where I'm at and got a 503. About 3 weeks later, I took FL2 and got a 508. n=2 obviously doesn't mean much so maybe it got easier? I definitely studied more so it'd make sense I would get a higher score. I don't know but compare to your own scores and see if there is any relationship between how long you studied and how much you improved.

I have just been wondering because of a generally consensus from the SDN users stating that Kaplan FL's are mostly content based and steers attention to little details while the AAMC is more general understanding of concepts. But thank you for sharing. This is my first FL since studying a little over a month ago so let's see.

That's funny I got 503 on the first one and then 507 on the 2nd and 3rd. I wonder if it's just because FL1 was the first one I took or if it was actually harder
