How to tackle killer passage in BS,PS or VR

[punktux]

I notice my section score is often dramatically lowered by the killer passage in each section. The passage is always wordy, convoluted and with complex relationship which obviously requires more time to reason.

Sometimes i get 4/5 or 6/7 wrong...horrible. Anyone care to share your experience in dealing with such passage?

Thanks

My worst are the experiment / hypothesis passages on bio. It is not that they are hard to do its just that I usually waste too much time on these particular passages. After a while though you start to see the trend of what kind of answers they expect. I've also learned to read some of the questions first for example (which of the following the following hypothesis proves that ....) I analyze the question and then go and read the passage for the answer. This way I save a lot of time. For experiments with weird graphs, I look at both the axis to see what variable is given before I start reading the passages.

1) Make sure you get 100 on the easier passages that you know
2) Do this one last so that extra time can be spent on it (more so for BS and PS, you can't really skip a verbal once you've already started reading it)
3) Just stay focused and try to understand
4) Practice Practice Practice
