Hi! How is the CARS section of the new MCAT different from the verbal reasoning section of the old MCAT? Would using the ExamCrackers 1001 Verbal reasoning book prepare for the new mcat? If not, what resources can I use to prepare for this section? Especially in terms of practice passages

It's the same as the old except they removed natural science passages (geology, astronomy, etc.)

What would you recommend as a study tool? Have you already taken the new mcat? Thanks so much in advance!

I'm testing in Sept. but I have just been doing practice passages a couple of times a week. I use the "the main idea" method from EK. But there are several methods (jotting down main idea, skimming the passage, etc.) you just have to pick and choose and see which one fits you better and stick with it.
