Section Banks AAMC

[baseballfan46]

Need a little reassurance lol, Why does it seem that the section banks are 10x more difficult than the question packs? I have been doing well on the question packs but I feel that the section banks are a complete different ball game. My test date is a little over a month away, should I be concerned? How is the best way to approach these questions.

Questions packs are recycled questions from the old administration of the MCAT. The science ones are not representative ( CARS q packs- those are golden). Section banks are notoriously more challenging but they're more on par with the new MCAT. Generally speaking, from what it seems like on sdn, if you're >60% on the section banks, you're doing pretty well. My MCAT was very very very similar to the B/B and C/P section banks in difficulty, but it had a great curve. Keep plugging
