Ok I was at a public library and found a link to this website when I was searching for MCAT material.

Search for MCAT, and they have two practice tests that you can take. They even let you select the sections individually.
Since I just began my prep for MCAT, I figured that I should try the verbal section first, since my comprehension abilities aren't going to improve overnight. On my first practice test, I got a 9 on the verbal section. On the second practice test, I got an 8. I was talking to a friend and she said that if this is the FIRST time I've ever seen an MCAT passage, and got 8-9, it is good, and by the time I take the real MCAT (June 17), I should expect my score to increase, given I keep practicing the verbal section. I have ExamKrackers 101 passages, and an old Baron's book. I will probably do all those passages, but my question is, given what I have read so far in my life, how is my reading/comprehension ability going to improve? Also, while I was doing these tests, I had about 8 minutes left, so I guess my reading speed is not an issue.
On these tests, I was reading the passage first, and then tried to answer questions. Given that I had time to spare, should I read questions and answer choices first, and then read the passage? May be after reading the questions, I'll pay close attention to corresponding information on the passage. But anyways, I would love to get advise from people who scored really high on the VS. Thanks.
