Hey everyone,
First of all, hope studying is going well for all of you! I had a few questions as I'm studying for verbal. I know that the Verbal on the real MCAT is much longer than most available practice passages. So I am wondering, how should we prepare for longer passages? Currently, I am practicing finishing between 7 30 and 8 min but what do I do on the real thing, when there is a real long one and I notice that I already used say, 8 or 9 minutes!? How do I adjust with my pace or timing of the next few passages? I would assume just calmly and confidently move on but do you all have any other advice?
Also, I notice that I have trouble eliminating unsupported answers or selecting answer choices that distort main points or author's ideas. Do you have any specific advice for that?
Please help and thanks in advance! : )
