jordan19 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 HI, So i managed to get my hand on a couple of Kaplan Practice tests, and I was wondering how they fair compared to the real test in terms of difficulty, and scoring. If anybody knows what practice tests are more authentic in terms of representation of the actual thing, and where I can obtain them from, that would great. thanks, Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the real MCAT tests from the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatonekid Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 I found that the Kaplan tests were pretty good. My actual MCAT score ended up being higher than the highest score that I got on the Kaplan tests, so I think they were just tough enough to help me figure out what I needed to study more.

medhopeful64 Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I was wondering....would using a 2003 kaplan practice test be disadvantageous? (seeing as it is from before the CBT version - it's probably just longer than current ones) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonnabeadocta Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 I did better on some sections on the real thing/ about the same on others. I think it's good to take them just to get more practice but don't take those scores as being a determinant of how you'll do (i.e. don't get discouraged if they're not that great, but don't get overconfident if they are). Just practice practice, practice! Good luck!!!

gonnabeadocta Posted June 7, 2010 Report Share Posted June 7, 2010 If you have the time, it's still a study tool. Use it to practice if you need it, but I think focus on the cbt versions. For myself I always take longer with the cbt;s. I was wondering....would using a 2003 kaplan practice test be disadvantageous?
