Poor Performance on Diagnostics because of Passage Based Questions

[an aspiring doctor]

Despite being strong on content I have been performing poorly on my MCAT Diagnostics. After post phrasing my diagnostics, it seems to me that I get questions wrong that correlate with the passage. The questions that I have been getting wrong have to be answered based on information that is given to you in the passage. I have been struggling with the dense science passages that are convoluted with information. Is there anything that I can change in my preparation to help increase my performance? I took The Berkley Review Diagnostic 1 today - 5/12/6.

How do you keep all the information in the passages organized? One of the best ways to do this is to create a passage map with 1-2 sentence summaries of each paragraph. Even with the dense passages, if you focus on extracting a simple summary from each paragraph, you will be better prepared for the questions.
