So I have been taking a bunch of verbals for my upcoming MCAT. I have been averaging about a 10 on the first 10 EK 101's, as well as AAMC 3-8. However, on probably 3-8 questions per test, I see why I got the answer wrong, and I don't agree with it. Like, given all the time I want, I still wouldn't have picked the given answer: I don't think it's as well supported in the passage, or I think that their assumption is too much of a leap, etc. Except it doesn't matter what I think, it matters that I figure out what the MCAT wants me to think. It's especially prevalent on the 101's, but i'm trying to tell myself that much of the logic that I find less-than-rational on the 101 won't be on the real exam (will it?).
I can't figure out a good way to predict the logic that the AAMC will follow, in order to get the "correct" answer. Does anyone have tips about how to overcome this? Maybe a rule that you follow that helps you decide in those iffy 50/50 situations?
