How long do you spend on physics passages from Berkeley? Some don't take as long, but others take 10+ mins.

And is there a way people break down physics passages into phases like the other books?

Considering you should be doing them in a timed situation, they should total 70 minutes but since we need to work on time pressure, I always lower my timer to 63-64 minutes depending on the content difficulty and it works out.

Shoot for 1.25 minutes per question

So are you doing all 52 questions at once for physics? In 64 mins ?! Are you doing other practice questions before hand to get familiar with the material? I've been using it as just learning how to do the questions.. Not being too strict with time.

For the BR physics sections yeah, I do the 52 question passages in one go just because of the difficulty of them and the unfamiliarity you will DEFINITELY face on the real exam. It will come fast and hit you hard so you have to be ready for it.

I don't follow the 1/3 passages 1/3 passages 1/3 passages guide that a lot of people follow on here just because I don't have that much time.

And yeah I do them with time to spare because it preps you for the time issue you will face on the real thing. If you can condition yourself to go faster you'll save time at the end to go back and look over any stupid mistakes.

And of course go over each question and the BR explanation with a fine toothed comb because that is where the real gold lies. BR PS is pretty great because it brought my PS average from a 7-8 average to a consistent 11-12 average and now i'm just fine tuning the things I need to get those extra points.
