Yup.....I felt that all of TPR's practice exam verbal were significantly harder than the AAMC's and the real verbal that I took......if you're getting a low score on their verbal don't fret....I'm pretty sure you'll do better on the AAMC (which is more accurate) since they seemed to be a little more straightforward.
P.S. going on a tangent here but Shin soo Choo was crazy in rejecting the Yankee's 140 mil/7 year offer!!!
