Yep tried them. I found it to be akward at first. But, I got used to it and it did help. But, did I use this as my only way of reading verbal? Absolutely not, I did over 300+ passages until I found what worked for me. I used kaplan, prinecton, aamc, gold standard,arco, etc..... Basically, I did as many damn passages as I could until I found what worked for me. Also, I read alot of different types of writing styles, journals, literature reviews, Smithsonian. I also took a class on critical, analytical, and logical reasoning. And, it did pay off I scored a 12 in verbal. I understand the August MCAT is coming up, but for those of you not taking it until next year (04) start preparing now for the verbal. It will pay off, trust me.
