Hey guys,
Does anyone know where i could find articles with questions for the reading section? ( just to practice) I know somewhere in studentdoctor net I saw articles with question, but now I can't find them anymore.

I read the journal of dental research.

I did not get any dental related passages on my RC. I got these passages: cancer, Economics and N.S. I was lucky that I knew the N.S. section and I did not read the passage.
I guess the RC section is about luck. If you know the stuff from the past it will help a lot and if you do not know it then use the Kaplan strategy. Read the passage for 5-7 min and take notes about important stuff ( mapping) and then go back to them based on the questions. Although, on the test day, I did not really apply this method and I went straight to the questions and then the passage.

So make sure what works for you and if you do the Kapplan practice test and Topscore you will find the best strategy that works for yu.\
Remmeber if the test is really hard then it is hard for everyone and and your score will be curved. So just be relax and do your best. I was surprised with my score and I thought I did really bad. but I get a decent score.

Agreed with balance. For me personally, I felt that practicing reading comprehension was a waste of time so long as I had a method for it. I only did a few practice tests in order to learn how to most effectively map the passage. If you can learn to number each paragraph (numbers are given to you on the test, so it's easy to backtrack) and jot down a couple of very, very brief descriptions to make it easy to jog your memory and find, you should do well. I hardly practiced the section at all and still managed to get a high score; at times I felt like the questions went in order with the passage, though, so maybe I just got an easy RC test.

Bottom line, though, is to use a mapping method that works for you, and to practice doing that when you read.
