Skipping RC Passages?

When taking the RC part of the dat are you aloud to skip from one passage to the next and then back? Like if you wanted to read the second or third passage for whatever reason could you then go back to the first passage? Or once you pass it you can go back?

I'm pretty sure it said you couldn't go back when I took it... I never tried so I'm not 100% sure.

I think so too

You could "Mark" all the first/second passage's questions to skip to the second/third passage and then "Review Marked" to go back to the passages you skipped.

But we can still review the ones we didn't mark right?

👍 I wonder about that too????

Yep, you can "Review Incomplete"

so as soon as I start the RC section I'm able to go to "review incomplete" and skip the first 17 questions???

When you start the RC section, you will need to click "Next" 17-18 times to get to the second passage. You will be able to "Review Incomplete" or "Review Marked" only after you finish the last question of the third passage. DAT Achiever's format is similar to the DAT so try out that software.

its annoying cuz you can only go to the REVIEW page once you go through every question...not like crack. i was clickin previous like mad then next even more on RC cuz i skip around questions and stuff

Wait a minute, I thought the RC section was like any other section and Topscore. In Topscore you can click next and previous at will, going to and from passages with ease. Are you guys saying you can't click the previous button on the real RC section of the DAT if it refers to a different passage?

There is also a go to question button in Topscore. Does this exist in the real DAT?
