Kaplan practice test.

<p>It has been my experience that very few tend to take it at the center. I definitely recommend it though. You won’t have the comfort of home on test day. You must train your mind in a test day environment so that it performs at 100% in a test day environment.</p>

I just look up Kaplan’s score conversion table for the full length practice test 4. I am surprised by how lenient it is. For example, the PS section conversion table tells me that: (I am particularly surprised by: range 38 - 47 is converted to 14.)</p>

<p>Kaplan Practice Test 4:</p>

<p>PS:
range 48 - 52 –> scaled score 15
range 38 - 47 –> scaled score 14
range 35 - 37 –> scaled score 13
range 32 - 34 –> scaled score 12
range 30 - 31 –> scaled score 11
range 27 - 29 –> scaled score 10
range 24 - 26 –> scaled score 9

</p>

<p>Taking a look at AAMC’s 5</p>

<p>10 questions wrong- score 10 VR
17 questions wrong- score 10 PS
16 questions wrong- score 10 BS</p>

<p>Which will place you in the 80th percentile.</p>

<p>7 questions wrong- score 11 VR
12 questions wrong - score 11 PS
12 questions wrong- score 11 BS</p>

<p>Which will place you in the 90th percentile</p>

<p>Because the MCAT is actually more difficult than the AAMC tests (by everyone’s account), I believe that Kaplan’s scale may be closer to the real thing.</p>

<p>I thought the MCAT was very similar to the last 3 AAMC tests (the only ones I did). The first four are supposed to be pretty different from the last four.</p>

<p>My daughter made a point of taking the test in all different locations - various libraries, etc. in order to experience different environments.</p>

<p>^Probably not a bad idea.</p>
