Can people who took this Princeton practice test shed some thought on it?

I thought it was insanely difficult compared to any other test I have taken, including the AAMCs (which are considerably easier than TPR tests imo)

The verbal passages were far too long with too many paragraphs.

Typically, I have no problem deciphering what a question is asking for, but with 2-3 of the PS passages (which accounts for like 3 points out of 15), it was hard to see what they were even asking of the testtaker (me).

Very hard test. Doubt I would ever break 30+ on it. BS was about "normal" for a real MCAT I thought (aka harder). PS was way too hard, but given my last test I had a "very hard PS", the PS on TPR Review 2 was about that level.

VR was super hard as well....but it was good practice. I find TPR VR passages long & convoluted and their questions tough as well.

That sounds right to me because I was afraid I had lost my mind today, but yeah, TPR tests are a real good source of practice (esp PS) and making sure one is over prepared for whatever is there on test day.

Im also trying to get my hands on every single free MCAT test.

This test was just lol.

Actually, both MCAT Review 1 and 2 were hard. My advice is a bit radical, but I say you should almost ignore your score. Still take it, and still review it hard, but ignore the number. I've seen people score 40+ but they scored like 26, 27 on these two exams. Seriously, check 30+ thread. There was a guy who got a 42 and doubted he could ever get a 35+ on one of these.

Yep, my friend took one of these review exams from TPR - scored a 22.

Went to AAMC 10 and 11 and got 32/36 respectively.

I enrolled in TPR course this past semester and our instructors actually conceded that their exams are purposely made to be harsh because they want to prepare students for the best possible score on the exam day (rubbish if you ask me)---- demoralized my confidence when I took their first exam.

I don't even have guts to post my score on their review FL lol.

And don't even bother with the Cracking the MCAT FLs - save your time and do something else like Berkeley Review, Examkrackers, or Kaplan.
