Following EK Verbal Advice

[MrDocNYU]

Hi,
So far, it seems that most people agree that the EK verbal strategies are about the best. First question about that: does anyone actually follows their advice of spending over thirty minutes during review per passage that you have read and synthesize the main idea? Does it work? Second question: If someone is planning to take the April MCAT and aims to score high (13+), but is still scoring around the national mean at this time, is there any hope?
Any other advice for studying MCATs without going nuts when one has one or two exams almost every week? Thanks a lot.

This "30 minutes" bit was actually a typo, admitted by Jordan himself. So I wouldn't really worry about spending this much time.

MAYbe. VR can be a crapshoot, but that's a big roll of the dice for 5+ points.

Exercise and rest!

Thanks for your help. How much time does Jordan actually recommends in real life? Is there any way specific that one should review for the verbal after taking the test?
