Anyone have advice for the passages for BB? I find them very difficult to comprehend even. There's just so much messy information thrown at you, many acronyms and terms, and the graphs/charts have extremely odd variables for the axes.

These are just some examples of the passages - I just see an overwhelming mass of confusing information.

How do you guys approach these passages? Considering we are timed, it's really an issue for me having to take so long to barely understand it. How can I improve besides just doing more practice? Any good threads on this stuff?
