Did anyone notice that the verbal section seems a little hard. Not only that but I took my second TPR diagnostic and scored 2 points lower 🙁 Did that happen to anyone else? Is TPR intentionally doing this?
 
Yes do not worry too much about it. My scores for TPR tests in verbal were like 6,5,4,6,5,6 took the real the thing got a 9. They are so much harder on the TPR tests.
 
So is it fair to add 2-3 points from what you get on TPR verbal and expect to get that on the actual MCAT 😛 How about the other sections? Do you think their biological science section is harder or easier? Same with physical sciences, harder or easier?
 
All my TPRs and AAMC were very close to each other. Although I did find TPR to be a little harder.
 
For verbal i guess it depends. On aamc practice tests i never scored below a 9. On TPR i never scored above a 6. The physical science was abbout the same for me maybe TPR was slightly harder but not much. The bio was def easier on TPR then the real thing. The bio on the real thing is TOUGH IMO.
 
the bio passages are easier than the real, does the biological sciences content book a good preparation though for the real thing?
 
yah it was good review but the bio section was very similar to the verbal. A lot fo experiment reading and analyzing certain aspects of it. TPR felt more fact-based for me and that was easier IMO. I felt like anyone could jsut remember facts. The real test, however, was nothing like that.

your scaring the Shi* outta me 🙁
 
I think the TPR questions are a little bit more difficult but the AAMC passages are terribly boring and more difficult to get through!!

This is bad news for me since i only do well on passages that im interested in. Ive only taken 2 AAMC tests though so I am not a good judge.
