Is it possible that I get the same reading comprehension as my friend gets one day before my test?? Do they reuse the passage??

Yeah, that's why you're not supposed to talk about it after you've taken it. My buddy and I were talking about it after we were both finished and we got the exact same passages just in different orders.

That's why both AA and GPA are important. 😉

IMO, the passages are unimportant. I don't see an advantage of knowing the topic of the passages. You still need to dig out the info.

True, but if you knew the topic of the passage, you could become acquanited with the subject material in a day or so and be able to read the passage without falling asleep.

actually, there is an advantage...

one of my passages was on the autonomic nervous system..and i learned almost everything about it in my human phys class...so when i was doing my reading section, i didn't even need to read the passage (nor refer to it) to answer the questions...

so i guess if someone knew the topics in advance, they could read up all about it...

i dont know if they'd be able to learn it and memorise the info that quickly though..

To do the RC section, you dont even need to read the passage anyways. Its all about reading the question and searching out the answer. Therefore, I dont think knowing about the topic is helpful becuase you dont need to read the passage.
