ok so, for example, a practice exam. 7 passages.
3 of the passages i can get all the questions right.
the other 3 passages i can do ok - miss 1 or 2 per passage.
than there is one passage where i blank at- miss about 5 questions.
I've done 3 aamc, and half way done with EK101 verbal. On 2 of the aamcs, I had 1 of these blank passages. On the other aamc, I had 2 where I blanked on. An on EK101, after 45 passages, I've blanked on 7 passages. And no I don't believe on the one "killer" passage.
I tried putting the passage I miss at in a specific category (ex. humanities, social economics, etc) but it varies. I don't think it's the passage type, I think it is more that the passage is very foreign. Often has vocab I don't understand. Material I've never seen or even heard of (yeah, we all know you don't need background knowledge, but it sure helps if you know what they are talking about, ha). I just find the passage very hard to read. Confusing. Very long sentences. Usually not a whole picture, passage looks to be more of a part extracted from a larger picture.
Any advice where I can find the most difficult reading (ny times, economist, etc.) or practice (maybe kaplan's mcat 45?) material?
