How many paragraphs on RC

[Impulse155]

For the RC whats a typical amount of paragraphs. I though it was around 10-15 per essay, but I got to my 2nd and 3rd qvault and they both have the first essay with 25? Wtfffff

It was about 12~15 paragraphs for first two passage and less than 10 paragraphs for the third passage on my exam if I recall correctly.

Really? I distinctly remembering mine had 2 that were 15+ and one that had 22 paragraphs. The 22 paragraph one had shorter paragraphs though.

The test usually has one short-ish passage and 2 long ones or 2 medium length passages and one long one. Shoot for completing shorter ones in 16 minutes. 18-20 minutes for the medium and long ones. Hopefully the extra 4-6 minutes you have remaining can be used if you are getting too much trouble from any particular passage.

This is what I thought it was

I really hope theres not 22 on any of mine, I dont think I have ever read 22 paragraphs in one sitting 🙁 All the practices I had were 12-15 and now I looked at 2 qvaults and saw 25's ;\

yeah i'm positive at least one passage of my reading was less than 10 paragraphs, or maybe in low 10s like 11 or 12 paragraphs. I don't think I had any passage that was more than 20 passages, at max it was 16~18 passages
