Verbal citations

I noticed that at the end of each verbal TPR diagnostic and AAMC sections that there is a reference of where the passages came from. Will that be true for the real MCAT? If so, it sort of helps with the main idea/tone of the passage. Just wondering...

The citations will all be there on the real MCAT, at the end, but now they shuffle them up so that you'll have to guess which title went with which passage. Before, they used to have each citation under it's respective passage. But now, no such luck.

Good luck!

how would it help u? if you read the book from which it came, then i'm sure you'll recognize. If you didnt, then the name of the book or the article won't add much. p.s. i did barely on some tpr diagnostic passage taken from Rousseau's "social contract", and i tried it after reading the book itsel, and i still did poorly on it...

Because, if you have an idea of what type of publication it came from (or what type of person is writing it), you can shape up a good idea in your mind of how this author would answer the questions given after the passage (which is essentially what 90% of the verbal questions ask you to do).

If it doesn't help, then why would MCAT would shuffle the references between the passages?
