VR prep material difficulty and similarity to aamc

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
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 Kaplan's passages are long and really verbose (sometimes I have to literally read a passage 10 times because they use outdated words from hundreds of years ago or stuff only scholars would understand), whereas I found most of EK 101's passages fun and fairly light to read.
