anyone else find these weird and ridiculous? I was ok with the other passages in the science workbook, and even did pretty good on TBR GC passages but these passages are so random it really makes me wonder...
Are you having trouble with any specific passages? Most of them seemed relatively fair, but occasionally there are questions that are out of place with respect to content that you may have not covered yet.
Yeah, just keep up your practice. Do all of them timed and make sure you have reviewed your content thoroughly before you attack the passages (the passages are very valuable and you don't want to run out of practice material and have used it when your content level was lesser). You will get very used to doing them and begin to feel very comfortable working with the foreign material presented in passages.
