I thought the first three were okay but the BS sections do not seem like how the current MCATs are. Either way, it's good practice.
When I got to CBT 4, the BS section destroyed me. CBT 5 had the most difficult PS section I've ever encountered but I found the post-game analysis to be very stimulating. I'll be taking 6 and 7 over the next few days.
Demoralizing, yes, but nevertheless, it's good practice (especially PS) and sticking with it with good post-game analysis will reward you.

i've taken 3 now and been trying to find some other posts on score comparisons to the actual mcat and haven't had much luck. i got a 25 when i took it back on 4/5 with AAMC averages around there but my scores on the TBR CBTs have been:
1 - 31 (PS=8, VR=12, BS=11)
2 - 33 (PS=10, VR=11, BS=12)
3 - 31 (PS=13, VR=8, BS=10)
have you guys heard much about how these stack up?
i felt way off doing the verbal and bs on BR3 and that ps scale seemed kinda high. missed 11 and was in the 13-15 range. any feedback would be nice. good luck

Is it good to use the TBR pdf tests because I was going to use them as practice.

Online tests will always be a better simulation to the actual test which is why I opt to purchase them and take them online. All FLs are good practice but for optimal test day stimulation you'd be better off with the online versions

The more your testing scenario resembles the real MCAT, from the time you wake up to walking out of the test, the better
