Please need guidance for Verbal

[ima2009]

Hello

I wrote the mcat last summer, and didnt do too well on verbal (4 )
I have signed up for another test this july 8 date
I have been practicing like crazy, but on my practice online test i am only getting 6

It takes me arround 5mins to read a given passage, and ~7mins to answer the questions...too slow

i just took an online reading test: i read around 165wpm (for an relatively easy read), and ~.73% comprehension

can some please guide me in getting a 8-10 score on verbal, please please

are you a native english speaker?

edit: according to that link, my own reading speed is over 400 wpm at 85% comprehension. You may want to consider getting some speed reading software (as the link itself suggests).

That link was cool! I guess i'm 290 wpm at 91% comprehension, except when doing the verbal reasoning, im definitely not at a 91% accuracy haha

It said I was 687 wpm, 100% comprehension, but I still get dominated by MCAT verbal
