10 real tests should get you to a good score right?

Unlike SAT, it is not possible to get 10 real tests which are recent ones. As far as I know:

1) There are 8 real tests from AAMC: AAMC 3-10. But AAMC 3-6 are extremely old and AAMC 7-10 are also quite old.
2) There is a grand total of one recent test, published by AAMC on its guide book. Wait…that one is not full length. So, we have access to a fraction of one test which is recent.
3) It is rumored that AAMC will soon contract with another company to write new tests. When that happens, we will have access to zero real test.

Please correct me if I am not right here.

BTW, out of AAMC 3-10, in your opinion, which one correlates the best with the real test (in terms of its difficulty)? Some said AAMC 8 is the hardest and the real test in recent years is harder than most AAMC tests. So, does it mean that AAMC 8 correlates the best with the real test?
