Some people say you don't have the option of using Ctrl+F on test day. So how do go about searching for the vocab-in-context words? Do they list line numbers?

Ctrl+F didn't work for me on the actual thing, and I don't recall there being line numbers, but I could be wrong.

I think you pretty much gotta eyeball the paragraphs. I don't remember there being any vocab words on the exam I took.

I never recall seeing a vocab-in-context question on the MCAT or any of the practice tests. The questions are usually more in depth than that.

I had a question like that on my MCAT. They didn't quote the line (since no line numbers are given), but they would reference the paragraph.

For example, "In the last paragraph, the word ______ is used to indicate which of the following?" or something like that.

That's exactly how mine was. A lot of the questions would refer to the first, third, or fourth paragraph, etc. It never referenced line numbers, nor did Ctrl+F work on mine either. If I remember correctly Ctrl+A and Ctrl+C, etc. were disabled, as well, on the writing section.

I think Ctrl+C works only on the writing section. not sure about Ctrl+A though
