AAMC did very well in offering the same question types as they did on the actual test, whereas the other resources I used were CLOSE, but never quite the same.	No																505	502	504	506	508				FL1: (126/126/126/127) FL 2: (124/127/126/125) FL 3: (125/127/127/125) FL 4: (125/127/127/127) FL 5: (126/128/128/128)	Much harder than the AAMC material. Some interconnected questions. Passages were often longer than AAMC. They were definitely worth it, however, due to their difficulty setting you up for a confidence boost once you take your first AAMC.

No																											508										FL1: 508 (128,125,128,127)(Taken: 5/31/17)	I felt like the first test (especially since it is free) was well worth the time. The scoring and question difficulty resembled the AAMC practice FL. However, I feel like the passages were shorter than the other practice exams, even on MCAT test day.

I highly recommend doing them ~3 weeks out, and reviewing each one thoroughly. These are 100% the closest thing to the actual exam that you will ever take. The Section Banks are a little difficult, but these are very very very good for figuring out the reasoning and the question style of AAMC. The Science Question packs were not very representative but very good content nonetheless. The CARS question packs were probably the best material out there for CARS and one of the most helpful resources out there for that section. The official guide also had some good questions that I felt like were representative. If I were to rank the AAMC material I used it would be AAMC Exams (FL3 > Fl2 > Fl1 > Sample) > Section Banks > Question Packs = Official Guide. I start AAMC Material about 1.5 months out and did the Section Banks twice and CARs QP's twice! You should 100% most definitely do AAMC material, and I'd recommend doing both the SBs and CARS QPs 2x!! AAMC makes the exam so it would be smart to do their stuff ;)	No																									I did not take the TPR exams because I heard they were unrepresentative and very hard as a whole. I would caution anyone to use these exams.		509	509	507	510	509	508					FL1 - 509 (128/126/128/127) (July 2017); FL2 - 509 (128/127/128/126) (Aug. 2017); FL3 - 507 (128/125/126/128)(Sept. 2017); FL4 - 510 (128/125/129/128) (Oct. 2017); FL5 - 509 (128/127/127/127); FL6 - 508 (127/125/128/128)	These 3rd party exams were closest to the AAMC ones, and they were actually in my opinion more difficult, which made it a breeze when doing AAMC full length exams. They were very math heavy in C/P, which made me very well prepared for AAMC C/P. CARS was kind of lacking, but good practice nonetheless. B/B was pretty good too, and gave me very good experimental analytical reasoning skills. P/S was kind of a hit/miss because they asked some obscure terms and some of their passages were too easy. I think it is 100% worth doing NS1-5, but 6 dropped in quality, kinda wish I didn't take it. Overall, I'd recommend the NS exams to anyone looking for the rigor and style of questions that match AAMC. I averaged a 508.67 on the NS exams, and I've heard the higher you score in the 505+ range, the more deflated they are, so after scoring pretty average on these with the difficulty they had, it gave me a real confidence boost when I took AAMC.	508

I did some detailed research before choosing practice test companies because I didn't want to waste my money or my time, and NS was the one that I found would work best for me.

SB was the most difficult, Qpacks were easiest. While not as useful as the full lengths, both were more useful than any third party material. I found that, in terms of difficulty, the real deal was somwhere in between the two, but they were both fairly important. (I think it's important to train both easy and hard questions). Also used the flashcards, which were easy and had spotty coverage, but the areas they did cover got really solid. AAMC material is not as user-friendly as a lot of third party stuff and has less analysis features provided than some, but not by a huge degree. Began with AAMC materials after finishing content review (first two weeks) and used it throughout my study. I took the three section banks (in order above) on 1/3, 1/14, and 1/11. (note I did not insert qpack scores above for various reasons but mostly because effort).

Was first full length I took, so my memory of it is not amazing. FL1 is free, and I think a 509 is pretty representative of where I was at the time, so I'd say it's worth taking if you only want a strict measure of how much progress you are making, but it's not great in terms of checking where/what you should study

The question banks are easy, but that does not mean to just disregard it. A lot of the MCAT will have questions that are seemingly hard, but the concepts they cover are the same concepts covered in the question banks. The question banks are a great way to make sure you have all the fundamental concepts down, so that you can adequately tackle the questions on the real thing.

The C/P was definitely more difficult, but I thought it prepared me the best for the C/P section of the MCAT and really helped me always get in the 130-131 range. CARS is the only weakness for Next Step, but the same can be said for all other third party exams. B/B and P/S were pretty good practice as well, there has been a noticeable shift in the style of questions P/S asks on the MCAT so I'm not sure if next step exams actually give good practice for the P/S section.

I had finished content review and so instead I spent my time going over the AAMC practice material in great depth. I hand wrote all my notes on exams and looking back I think that really helped in remembering random facts. I took FL 2 last because I knew that it was said to be representative of the exam and didn't know if FL 3 was representative since it had just been released. However, the CARS passages on my actual test seemed much longer than any practice test and the B/B section had way more anatomy than I was used to seeing.	No																	500	504						FL2: 500 (125/125/124/126) (Taken 10/10/17); FL3: 504 (125/127/125/127) (Taken 11/12/17)	The TPR exams were a LOT harder than the real deal. I didn't bother with the demo test since everyone told me it was difficult but I took just the C/P section two days before my exam and ended up getting a 123 on it so just know that it's obviously very deflated and significantly harder. I did find that doing harder practice tests like TPR was helpful when completing the AAMC practice material.	500				506	506	509					FL 4: 506 (127/125/127/127) (Taken mid- Novmber); FL 5: 506 (127/128/125/126) (Taken: mid- October); FL 6: 509 (127/126/128/128) (Taken: late October)	Next Step Exams were my favorite and also had my highest practice test scores besides AAMC. CARS was a little bit lengthier than it should be but I think that may have been what helped me on the actual test. They throw out some information that is way too detailed but I think the best Next Step material is their Qbanks. I did two a week for my fall semester of college and that helped me learn a lot of concepts I didn't know about.

After each and every practice test, I would make a spreadsheet of each test, by question, with attention paid to the topic category, difficulty, time spent on it, whether I got it wrong, and why. I would then try and study not only the missing material, but material I thought wasn't covered in case it appeared on the next test. I did this through a combination of NextStep QuestionPacks, SectionBanks, flash cards, and re-skimming Kaplan chapters. IMO, these scores and plenty of other evidence demonstrate that while NextStep may be recommended as the best of the third party full length providers, it's still no AAMC and at the higher levels I think it can actually be detrimental, as testing strategies start to differ from what the NextStep test writers know/think/feel about really complex science. I found myself writing little notes to the Nextstep people via the "feedback button" over and over and over again about how their questions were worded weirdly or poorly representative of the real thing.

They are also nice to familiarize yourself with the testing interface. As for other material, the section banks are great. They represent the most difficult passages you can expect to see and were very helpful in learning to understand the format of difficult passages and the ways questions will be asked. Question packs are helpful but more content based than critical thinking. I used them to supplement my weakest areas.	No

I thought AAMC was the best representative of the exam. I didn’t like the change in the browser format when you took the test. Like the AAMC sample had the purple background with the option to strikeout using the right mouse button and the AAMC 2 had the blue background where you had to highlight the text you wanted to strike out first and then click a button on the screen. I wish the format was consistent. So I took the test twice, but cancelled the first test. In my first round, I started studying in early June, started AAMC Sample test on 7/17/17, AAMC 1 on 8/7/17 and took the exam around 8/18/17. For my second round, I started studying in Sep 2017, started using AAMC materials 2 months after I went through my content review. In my first round, I completed the section bank in the last two weeks before my exam (chem/phys: 63%, biochem: 71%, Psyc/soc: 66%). In my second round, I used the section bank intermittently (only finished chem/phys) and did some of the q pack questions, but didn’t finish. I think the fact that I started using AAMC materials earlier the 2nd time helped a lot. The section bank had a lot of good questions relating to experimental passages.	Yes	2	8/18/2017			I cancelled my test, so I never got to see my first score	In my first attempt, I used TBR, it had a lot of good content. But then I started using the AAMC material during the last two weeks leading up to the exam and thought to myself “oh shit”, TBR didn’t prepare me very well for the experimental passages, so I struggled to really understand them. I understood what my general weaknesses were, I sucked at biochemistry and experimental passages. I became a part time biochemical research assistant and started to read and write a lot about science and perform more experiments. So this helped me out tremendously with reading experimental passages and I developed a stronger foundation in biochemistry. I also used new books from EK and the Kaplan Biochemistry book	If you don’t feel ready, don’t take or score the exam. I know it really sucks to study for an extended period of time again, but its not worth it getting a bad score when you know you could have done better. Use a wide variety of prep material to cover more bases. Also, know your weaknesses, my first attempt really taught me what I needed to study. And utilize AAMC material earlier on, spread it out.									503	504							FL1: 503 (125/126/125/127) (Taken 11/3/2017) FL2: 504 (125/125/127/127) (Taken 11/23/2017)	Good general content exams, I used them pretty early just to see what I didn't know. Not really near AAMC's style or had a lot critical reasoning behind it. They were free, I think I just used the isbn # to get them, so they were worth it.		511	515	508	505	512						FL1: 511 (127/127/128/129) (Taken 7/24/2017). FL2: 515 (129/129/128/129) (Taken: 8/1/2017). FL3: 508 (127/126/127/128) (Taken: 8/3/2017). FL4: 505 (126/126/126/127) (Taken: 8/10/2017). FL5: 512 (127/128/128/129) (Taken: 12/1/2017)	I thought they were really good. CARS was okay, I think the Chem/phys and biochem sections were better. Psyc/soc, like basically all other practice exams from company just felt like regurgitation. Sometimes the chem/phys sections felt kind of computation heavy, so it eats up more of your time, but good practice nonetheless. Yeah I think they were pretty worth it. For me personally, I got kind of cocky with my scores for NS1 and NS2, and got shocked when I took NS3 and NS4. I heard NS3 and NS4 were more representative of the exams. But my main point is don't get cocky if you get a high score for NS1 and NS2, I feel they test slightly different content areas.

Yes		7/21/2018	500	124/125/125/126	too low for all scores	I took 14 practice tests and did WAY more practice questions instead of content review since I already had a pretty strong foundation.	Do as many practice tests you can. I recommend Next Step for practice. Their CARS is not great but they have the most representative science sections in my opinion. However there are a few typos in their exams. Nothing major though.																														FL1: 125/NA/126/128; FL2: 125/NA/126/127; FL3: 125/NA/125/128; FL4: 126/NA/125/126; FL5: 126/NA/125/126; FL7: 126/NA/126/127; FL8: 125/NA/126/125	When I did these exams I didn't answer the CARS questions. I took the Jack Westin course and his advice was to only answer the AAMC questions and just read/summarize the passages for all 3rd party prep companies - although I think this ultimately hurt me in the end. So, I only have scores for NS for the science sections.

As a ORM, I needed to raise my score to be more competitive.	I used a variety of resources to keep me from getting bored and giving up. Used KA videos, kaplan books, next step tests, and aamc tests. Was also working full time instead of being a full time student working part time. Trying to study while exhausted from work is way harder than as a student (IMO).	Don't hesitate to take breaks, you're training for a marathon--not a sprint! Plan out when you're going to take your full lengths, and make sure to block out time for all the aamc resources! I wish I had more time to hit the QBs and SBs.																				507	503
