For verbal how often do you go back to passage to verify answer?

[Turkelton]

For those of you scored well on the verbal portion of actual MCAT (i.e. around 9 or above) how many questions per passage do you go back to passage to verify answer? I.E. if there is 6 questions in a verbal passage on average how many questions do you re-look/verify in passage.....3, 4 , 5, 6??

well i haven't taken the actual mcat, but i'm doing okay on the ek/aamcs. and from what i've seen from ek advice, the most you should be going back is 4/7 times maybe. if you are really fast, and can do 7/7 ...then awesome. but for most people going back more than 4 times will lead to time pressure, which leads to missed easy questions.

I VERY rarely go back and when I do, it's because I've already finished the test. I think out of a whole test I probably only go back to a few questions. When you're starting to take verbal practice tests, you should never go back to the passage. This gives you a bad habit that can kill your timing.
