This is how I am doing and my goal:

Now Goal
EK/kaplan/TPRH Verbal(65%)-->(80%)
TBR(53%)-->(75%)
EK 1001 physics(80%)-->(85%)
EK 1001 chem(88%)-->(85%)
EK 1001 ochem(80%)-->(85%)
EK bio in class exam(65%)-->(75%)


is it reasonable and should I be aiming higher or lower?

to put in another way if I was getting

Verbal(80%)
TBR((75%)
EK physics(90%)
EK chem(90%)
EK ochem(90%)
EK bio(75%)

correct,
I would be good to go right??

there's never a perfect correlation between your EK/TBR scores and your AAMC scores. How about you focus on getting good scores on your AAMC FLs? EK/BR tends to err on the side of more content oriented questions when formulating their tests, while AAMC will try to gauge your test-taking abilities/how well you can synthesize brand new information.

You will need higher scores than these if you want the 40+ displayed in your signature. If you are shooting for 30+ those scores should get you there, but the AAMCs are a much better gauge.

Best thing to do brah is to focus on AAMC's as a diagnostic and not rely on EK for diagnostic purposes.

If you want a 40+ then you should be aiming for 100% on everything. I don't think you realize how unrealistic your goal score is, much less how unnecessary it is (38-45 are essentially the same score since the difference between each successive point in that range is a single question).

If you are insistent on it though, then I'd say you want the following:

Verbal (95%)
TBR (90%)
EK physics1001 (100%)
EK chem1001 (100%)
EK ochem1001 (100%)
EK bio1001 (100%)

Basically you need to be scoring 14 in every section if you want a shot at a 40. If you're willing to settle for a score in the high 30s then you only need to score 13 on each section.
