Hi! I just started reading the The Economist a couple days ago at the library. I have heard from many SDNers that reading The Economist regularly could improve comprehension for the verbal section of the MCAT (I'm taking it next year). I really enjoy reading some of its articles. But I'm having trouble reading articles that I do not have background about especially the ones dealing with international politics and world current events. How should I approach this problem? Should I just keep on reading the articles even if they do not make so much sense to me? For MCAT verbal preparation, what questions should I be asking myself about the article after I have read it? Thanks in advance!
