I'm using the 2002 edition of the 101 passages for verbal as a PDF on my iPad. It's the one with 11 practice exams with 9 passages in each practice exam. My question is what should my timing be per passage to be comparable to the 7 passage VR of present-day? Thanks.

77 minutes per test.

I knew I was doing something wrong! 😉

I thought we give 9 passage tests 85 minutes?

that is, 60 questions for 85 minutes? atleast thats how much i thought the old aamc tests get.

the current one has

PS: 52 questions 70 min
VR: 40 questions 60 min
Writing: 2 prompts 60 min
BS: 52 questions 70 min

optional 10 min breaks in between each section and each section has 7 passages along with discrete questions for the sciences.

I was referring to the ek1001 book that the op has. It has 60 questions per test. op needed a time per test.

Confirming what bored said- the first edition of EK 101 follows the old MCAT VR format of 9 passages/60 questions in 85 minutes.

I have the same EK. I was wondering, is it highly recommended that I get the newer version with 40 questions? Does it make a difference which verbal book I use between the newer and the older version?
