In my opinion the aamc passages are significantly harder than the EK's. They're quite a bit longer and often more convoluted.
I may be alone in this though. My EK average is 10+, and my aamc average is 7 on the dot.

My AAMC and EK averages are identical.
That said, unless someone posts a study from a reputable source comparing scores(and controlling for factors like increasing scores from practicing and learning new study methods) it is unlikely your question will be answered in this thread.

Personally I found (in terms of difficulty) Kaplan >> AAMC >> EK 101... Kaplan's passages are long and really verbose (sometimes I have to literally read a passage 10 times because they use outdated words from hundreds of years ago or stuff only scholars would understand), whereas I found most of EK 101's passages fun and fairly light to read.

Given that the topic of this thread is verbal reasoning, I feel compelled to point out that this is not a logical conclusion.
