More MCAT talk and a new practice test.

So I've been doing a lot of practice problems using The Berkeley Review (TBR) books for everything except bio, for which I use ExamKrackers. I find myself doing really well on most of the passages, but there are always one or two that I do bad on.  It seems like no matter what I do I can't break the 60-75% range.  It's rather frustrating, but  I was looking over some forums and found one that kinda made me feel a little better. I have heard that TBR passages are harder compared to the real thing, which is good I suppose, but I am still hoping that even if I can't get over the 60-75% TBR hump, I can at least get a 28-30 like BerkReview Teach says is typical.  I am taking my first full-length practice test next weekend, so I guess I'll see what sort of progress I've made since last year. And yes, it is early to take a full-length, but it expires the 23rd and I don't want to pay for it again.   

I also purchased the new full-length exam #11.  I haven't done any research on it to see what the difficulty is like.  I hear most people think that #10 is the hardest and #3, the free one, is the easiest.  If any of you have heard anything about it, let me know!
