Everyone seems to be getting high 700's - low 800's this year - is this normal?
Also, people are more likely to share their site if they did well. I know for a fact that it i scored 587 average, if be a lot more hesitant about uploading my result then i did for what i got.

Is the abstract mini mock on medify representative? I got 630 which is disappointing.
Also, after you do it, there is a disclaimer saying that it is not necessarily accurate. I personally found the medify AR to be slightly harder than the real thing, so you may do better, buy then again, you may do worse.
It can be representative if you let it be. I'd you want to improve, then look where you went wrong and go out of your way to improve on that

I'm normally quite good at maths, but finding it hard to score consistently good marks in QR- any tips for improvement?
Also what are the general trends for QR in the real thing, is there as much info to process like the qs on Medify?
Any feedback much appreciated -

So in QR aim for accuracy, not speed. Try to get as many right answers than finishing the section. I've been doing medify, just read the question carefully, and ask yourself what does it require me to do. Spot the information, ignore useless information. Practice it, and be calm. I'm not great at math, but it isn't complicated math. Just read the question carefully. Use approximations! Remember Guess, flag and skip. Don't waste time on hard questions.
I think sometimes it tempting to just want to finish the questions, but that is probably not very effective. Just a little demoralising when you can do A-level maths but can't do this, but there is obviously the ridiculous time factor :/ -

okay so during practice i used to really struggle with QR but with practice i can get 650 on kaplan tests which i know isnt good but they seem to be a lot harder than real thing and i am improving here and so i am being postitive about this and for AR i can get 700 fairly easily in most resources as i have a brain for patterns but when i do VR i find i someimes cant even get 600 in practice and i have done a lot of practice of looking for key words and scanning, plus i hear the real thing is harder!!
anyone got any strategies they use like a quick skiim read of long passages for example or slow down and only do 90%? need some help!
got 2 weeks till test and i feel like im failing every time i come on TSR

Firstly don't panic, two weeks is plenty of time, I'm sure you'll be fine.
It is important that you read the question before the passage as this focuses your reading. Make sure that you work through at a steady, pace (30 seconds per question).
Look out for "extreme" words (always, never, extremely, proven etc) as these words will often give you the answer. Also, remember that 'true' and 'false' don't have to be exact word-for-word matches. If the meaning is the same, that is enough.
I hope that is useful. Do give me a shout if you have any questions... always happy to help.

Personally I would say the QR is about the same but the AR is probably easier in Medify. The standard of AR in Kaplan is much more similar to the actual test -
