What score is everyone getting on these pratices?

I find the questions that I get wrong are either highly detail-oriented or controversial (i.e. I don't agree with the answer).

With EK, I could always see why the right answer is right; With TPR, I find myself arguing with the book.

Anyone else with similar experience?

Yeah, some of the answers on the TPR workbook are kind of iffy. As of now, I get around two or three wrong a passage, depending on how many questions there are. Are you enrolled in the class? If you are, what do you think of their verbal strategy?

No I didn't take the course and their strategy isn't all that helpful.

Anyone else used this book? Mind sharing your scores and opinions?

I actually feel the opposite. I can usually see why TPR is right, but find myself arguing with EK-some of their explanations seemed to have been pulled out of someone's ***.

Do you guys find EK 101's questions to be harder than TPR's verbal practice workbooks?

 

[capn jazz]

Yea, I much prefer TPR Verbal, and I do better on it as well (EK ~10s, TPR ~usually more than 80% right, AAMCs avg of 12)

 

[iwant2doctor]

Do you find TPR similar to AAMC?

 

[capn jazz]

I don't really know because I haven't done EK verbal in over a month... I've just finished TPR and have been intending to restart/finish EK verbal before my test but I've been slacking.

I'm kinda in the same position as you, I started EK 101 before my tpr class, then I left ek 101 and started doing tpr's verbal book, the questions just seem easier in tpr's book. I cringe when the tpr says this is a killer passage, I mean we gotta do all the passages and questions no need to skin around

 

[G1SG2]

I think EK is more similar to AAMC but I think AAMC is the hardest. Most of the questions/answer choices are so ambiguous, even more than the EK ones. Sometimes I'm like, wf? They all seem to be right.

I have the 2005 TPR Verbal Workbook and it is divided into 36 passages and 4 practice tests. The 4 tests are formatted to the old format - 60 questions instead of 40 qs(new format). Can anyone who has the latest TPR Verbal Workbook share how the passages are divided? Is it the same?

 

[capn jazz]

It doesn't matter - just take the # of days you have left before the MCAT minus the # of FL exams and divide 72 by that # of days and do that many passages per day. It's more useful to do 3-4 passages a day then to do 7 passages at a time, but only once or twice a week.

 

[iwant2doctor]

Scoring poorly on these practices...there seem to be a HUGE emphasis on minute details that has NOTHING to do with the main point of the passage...

Makes me feel worse as it seems a consensus that everyone finds TPR extremely easy...

I also have the 2005 edition.. but I noticed that the passages are somewhat longer and the answers are also longer than the Ek 101's... Does anyone agree?
