Rank Difficulty of AAMC Sample, FL1, FL2, & FL3?

Question

Just what the title says. Which one is most predictive of the score? Why do some say to take FL3 before FL2 and the Sample before FL1? I read so many different things on here, not sure what to follow. Does the order even matter as long as I've done them all? Took FL1, then the Sample. Sample was 6 pts higher than FL1, with CARS being 3 pts higher. Sample seemed easier, so should I exclude this from my score prediction, and what I need to improve on in the coming weeks? Thanks.

Answer 1

Incase anyone sees this question now, it is commonly asserted that the latest AAMC free-scored Full Length (known as FL5 on Reddit) is widely regarded as the most accurate reflection of the MCAT's content as of 2023/2024.

Answer 2

The full lengths are all pretty much the same, but the sample is significantly easier. I usually tell people to take the sample a few days before the test as a confidence boost. Usually the score comes out to be between the sample and the FL averages.
