I have heard about the "piano" passage, would a technique like search and destroy work well on this passage, or would the mapping technique be more effective.

Thanks

DAT on the 15th

I have all of my top score exams to still do but i have done 3 kaplan tests using their mapping method, it has worked well so far, with scores in the low twenties. but a really long passage scares me.

kaplan's RC sections are too easy...I had the piano and I still don't know what to tell you.....good luck and pray you don't get it I guess.

What technique did you use and how did it work out for you?

also, When employing the S&D method should you read multiple questions before skimming?...If anyone has a link to a comprehensive thread on this method please let me know, but otherwise I am still interested in hearing what other people have to say about which method to use on a long piano type passage?

has anyone seen the law of sin and law of cos on the DAT? that would be a killer.

i tried the search and destroy method today, but i am not quite sure if i am doing it correctly.

When I was doing a Crack DAT reading test today it seemed as though the questions were in almost perfect cronological order, aside from the tone type questions, is this similar to the DAT?
