Overall easier as in my score was higher than mocks on medify, DM and SJT I found to be slightly more harder
I kinda knew it would be harder from mock a,b,c,d so what I did days before my test was just redo the DM and SJT sections on those. The most important thing is to be able to shake those nerves before the test because last thing u want is being zoned out whilst skimming the vr passages.
