ok guys, i want to be realistic and prepare for the worst, today's rc is nothing like any practice test we currently have, i went through topscore, acheiver, kaplan,...all have answers directly taken from the passage word for word, obviously this is not the case for tody's rc, and there aren't any "similar" practice tests for us to practice with yet, so i have no choice but to practice with examkrackers 101verbal passages, so here is my question for those of you who have practiced with it:

how did you break up those short macat passages to fit the dat style???

I am discouraged from using it (although I know it will be really good practice to tune up my passage understanding skills) because I don't know how to break up those passages, time wise and passages wise, so as to make it as similar as the dat's rc, i thought of this way:

I need to answer 50 qustions in 60min, so may be 2 short passages of theirs could equal one of the dat's long passages, so spending 20min per 2 passages (reading+answering) by the end of 60min one could only reach up to question 40 and there is simply not enough time to go through 2more passages to get to the 50th question, i have tried breaking it up different ways but it's not working😕

so please let me know how you broke them up if you use examcrakers to practice, thanks for sharing

The best way to use Examkrackers is not really to know the question types they have on there (~1/3 resemblance to the DAT, in my opinion), but to use it to improve your reading speed while retaining some basic comprehension of what you read.
