Hey everyone, so i'm following SN2ed's 3 month schedule and currently on day 3 and I feel so stressed out when studying for the MCAT that i can't explain this feeling.
The passages are just ludicrous in my opinion. I can't possibly understand how you guys can complete the majority of them in a 7 minute span.
I can't even grasp the content of the passage through the first read most of the time!
Not to mention the fact that I don't feel like the Berkeley Review content prepares me for the passages either. I just finished the first chapter of General Chem (Stoichiometry) and the examples given were very basic and easy to follow but once I hit the passage, it was a whole new ball game.
Most of the time i'm learning stuff while DOING the passages. Is this normal?
Also, 7 minutes per passage, from what i've experienced, is literally reading the passages ONCE, reading every single question once, knowing how to solve the question almost immediately without much pondering and rinse-repeat.
Is this all supposed to get much better closer to exam day? Because even for the Physics chapter 1 i was spending around 12-14 minutes per passage and still getting a few questions wrong because I didn't know how to do them...
