daryn Posted August 14, 2006 Report Share Posted August 14, 2006 Do you think there is a difference between pre 5R and post 5R? The structure, difficulty etc.? (besides VR being shorter and I get somewhat frustrated when checking answers -- the answers had all 85 questions but they pulled 5 questions out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 Yes, there is a lot of stuff on http://www.studentdoctor.net about this. Pretty much AAMC 7, 8, and 9 are the most representative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darla Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 In the 5R, I was kind of taking note of what had changed in biology from what the answers have...more genetic type questions and neurotransmitters, less physiology. Given that the revisions were mostly done around the time that 8 was being set up, it seems that what they changed is as important as what went into the new exams. Just a thought.

Kuantum Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I just did AAMC test 8, and that was without a doubt the craziest physical sciences i have ever done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darla Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 My PS dropped 3 points on AAMC8. I'm choosing to blame it on a lack of coffee though AAMC6 bio kicked my heinie red though, lost 3 hours to deep funk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishy0118 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Hi ... Is there some conversion table out there for the AAMC tests? I see ppl mentioning how they did in terms of the 15pt scale ... I don't seem to find it Thanks. Fishy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avenir001 Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hey fishy...the link for the conversion charts was posted in the old forum a while back...they're here: http://homepage.mac.com/chameleon21/Premies/AAMC_Score_Conversions.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuantum Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I found AAMC 7 to be the hardest, but that is because there is a distinct change from the previous ones. I have been able to increase my practice scores from 30 on AAMC 7 to 34 on AAMC 9. Hopefully I can take everything today (12PS 10VR 12BS) up one notch to a 37 on Saturday. Good lucl all.
