Hey everyone! So I am trying to self study at the moment, I have taken the TPR course, and I am trying to take the shortened exam by Sept. 28th I have taken 1 AAMC Offical FL, and one TPR FL. Currently, as I am self-studying, I have been doing TPR CARS, and I have found that I do much, much worse (Around 35-50% on average) compared to when I use Khan Academy. I don't like Kaplan's Q-Bank as from my experience it does not allow you to go back on questions that you have done previously, and in some cases, it has given me questions I know I won't have on the exam (i.e: questions that LITERALLY had more than 1 right answer, and you had to select all true answers). I have the following questions
1) Is TPR really representative of what the official AAMC CARS section will be like? Is it much harder, should I be doing it?
2) Is Khan Academy CARS up to the standard (In terms of passage/question difficulty) compared to the AAMC?
3) I was hoping you could rank the following in terms of which one is the best to use (Aside from Official AAMC) to prepare for the CARS portion of the exam, and will give me the most accurate representation of both my score, and what I need to work on:
- Kaplan: MCAT Prep - Courses & Test Prep
- Princeton Review: MCAT Test Prep | MCAT Prep Course | The Princeton Review
- Khan Academy: MCAT | Test prep | Khan Academy
- Exam Krackers: Examkrackers – MCAT Prep Classes, Books, and Practice Tests
- U-World: MCAT Practice Test | 1,900+ Practice Questions | UWorld Grad School
- Blueprint Prep (Previously called "Next Step): MCAT Practice Questions | Blueprint Prep
