aamc 6 - verbal section

[limit]

I just did this section, and I found that I was getting a lot more questions wrong, as compared to any kaplan practice, ek practice, aamc practice, or aamc 3.

When I look at the solutions closely, it seems as if paraphrasing is a recurring theme, i.e., the correct answer always has very close ties with a sentence from the passage, but is paraphrased to become [the correct] answer choice. Is this an accurate assertion?

What are some opinions of this sections, and how your performances have matched up by comparison?

Let me give an example of what I mean by the above.

I'll get a question wrong. I'll look at the solutions provided by aamc, it'll say something like "answer is in accordance with lines 4-6"

I go to look at lines 4-6 and think to myself "crap, it's been in lines 4-6 all along, and here I am over-rationalizing it".

Yes, every question will be supported by information in the passage. The paraphrase answers are common. Inference and implied detail questions are a little harder, but still supported by the passage.
