First off,
Sit down and start doing verbal passages back to back... like 8 in a row at a time with no break. This should help. Stick to reading on back lit monitors because they cause eye strain that you will have to deal with during the test. Think of it as a mental workout. Your going to get "sore" but you will recover to become a faster reader after you take a small break.
With such a short period of time left before your MCAT, you need to know if your ACTUALLY improving your time with your adaptations. Some passages naturally have more questions than others and are harder which can give you a false notion that your taking "too long" to read it in comparison with the other easier passages.
To overcome this illusion, Start an Excel spreadsheet that monitors how long it is taking for you to finish the passages. In one collumn write down the number of the passage you are rehearsing (if its the first passage in your cram session, write 1 in the first column, 2 if its the second etc... if you take a day or two break, and start again.... continue with the next number in line... like it will be your 6th or 7th passage). In the second column write down how long it takes you to read the passage ( 14.5 mins, 13.2 mins, 8.49 mins ) and in the third column write down some notes as to what kind of passage it was ( hard history, easy philosophy, pointless poli sci, etc..) Graph the Passage number with time it takes to read (Passage number on the x-axis, and passage time on the y axis) in a plot in excel. you should get some random dots all over the place. To ensure that whatever your doing is working, and to build your confidence, add a linear trend line to your plot. also, get excel to display the function of the trend line on your plot and solve that function for how many passages you will need to read to get down to your target time.
If you solve the function and see that you will have to read like 90 passages to get your time down, then start reading more briefly. Dont read proper nouns, rather highlight them. Dont read lists, rather highlight them. Dont read supporting evidence for an authors point, rather highlight the main point on each. Once you get your timing to a reasonable value, then start worrying about why you got certain questions wrong and right. I would assume that there are multiple articles on here on how to identify common mistakes.
Using this method i have found that the number of questions in a passage is directly related to how long it takes to work the passage. So if reading is your issue, then on practice exams read the passages with the most questions first, save the ones with 4 - 5 questions till last.
This is a very powerful way to show yourself that you are improving your timing, and it will also show you how much more work you need to do in order to improve your time. It also keeps you from loosing confidence in your speed because the trend line WILL have a negative slope!!!
Good Luck and I hope that you don't spend too much time on verbal that your B and P scores will suffer because from what it seems like, those two sections are going to be your saving graces.
