Since everyone is saying that today's MCAT VR passages are much longer, is it wise to still give myself 8 minutes per passage when I'm practicing for this section? I find it hard to read a long passage and answer 7-8 questions in just 7 minutes (I read pretty fast, and I'm not too bad at this section), so I usually just give myself 8 minutes. I just wanted to know if you guys think I should start practicing on a 7 minute timer instead of 8 min, given the increasing length of the passages. I just keep thinking that I might get screwed on test day, with the passages being much longer than I'm used to, and that I will run out of time or something I've been practicing with TPR verbal (full lengths, and the workbook as well), and have so far taken two EK 101 verbal tests (I'm saving the AAMCs for last)-I give myself 8 min per passage when doing VR on those tests, and do just fine/don't run out of time.
To those who have recently taken the MCAT-were the passages really longer than what you were previously working with?
Any advice would be appreciated!
