My biggest issue is the BS section right now. I found that on older exams, AAMC 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, I was able to pull off a 12 or guaranteed 10+. I'm suddenly seeing, in AAMC 9 + the self assessment, a new element of logic/analysis of the material presented. In prior exams, I found the questions to be less passage based/less analytical, you'd just need to know, for example, aldosterone raises BP, but not really in relation to anything else in the passage/new material presented in the answer choice itself.
Anyone else feel like modern MCAT BS section is very logic/deductive intense? For example, in a passage, two hypothesis' are presented, and you're asked to find which is more accurate to the situation originally described. I have a lot of trouble distinguishing because both hypothesis' sound fair to me and logical (for example, no crazy outliers, like you need a body temp of 110 degrees for hypothesis B to work). what's the best way to attack these types of questions/passages? Thanks!!
