I only got the 101V book. From the intro. they said basically to get used to the anatomy of MCAT verbal. They also emphasized that practice makes perfect because the Verbal is more or less a test of skill, therefore the more you practice the more skillful you become. I gotta tell u it works. So far I did five exams and got 9,9,9,10,11. On the TPR diags, I barely got above a 8, think I got 11 once but that was luck. I use some of the TPR strategies, i.e. getting down the tone and main idea. I discarded their "good reading is swift reading" strategy because it took too much time later on and sometimes I didn't get the actual point of the passage. I read a little slower now and I usually skip a passage that I can tell is gonna take a lot of time or is a severly complicated reading.
