Hey MCAT students, stop driving yourself insane searching Reddit question-by-question for explanations to the AAMC full-length practice tests! We’ve put together a little something for you.
Below, you’ll find a complete list of questions from AAMC full-length test 4 (or AAMC FL 4 as it’s referred to on Reddit) and embedded links to available explanation threads from Reddit. Where we couldn’t find an explanation thread, we linked to a crowdsourced Google Sheet from Reddit students with explanations for AAMC questions.
If a question has inspired a lot of discussion on Reddit, we’ve noted that with a HOT QUESTION ALERT!🚨
Special note for AAMC FL 4: this is the newest test from AAMC and also one that claims to have better explanations, so there aren’t as many student- and tutor-explained questions for this one yet, so we’d love your help in solving more!
If a question doesn’t have an available explanation, and you think you can explain it, we’d love to hear from you in the comments and we can update this resource and give you credit if desired 😉.
Disclaimer: most of these explanations were written by MCAT studiers like you. Our MCAT expert tutors are currently working on creating explanations for you as well – so stay tuned for those! In the meantime, if you spot any corrections or additions needed, please let us know in the comments!

This is great! I’ve just been editing the document as I find ways to improve it. Not sure what you mean by receiving credit….name recognition is not important to me, but I’ll take Magoosh product credits 😉
I’m glad that you found this helpful and are working on this crowdsourced document! I know that future students will appreciate it. We linked to this document but didn’t create it and we don’t manage it. It’s a free crowdsourced resource taken from Reddit 🙂
