In VR book format, it's easy to go back and find the answers for detail questions because you know to look for the detail at either the bottom of the page, top of the page, second column, etc....Does anyone have a method for the computer based tests? I find it difficult to go back because all the paragraphs jumble together, and I don't have a foundation of how to search like the method I used in the verbal "book tests" like 101 psgs in VR. Any suggestions, advice, or help from someone who has also experienced this is greatly appreciated.
 
There's a highlighting function when taking the real MCAT which helps tremendously. The only downfall is that if you leave the passage to go to another, the highlights get reset. To be advantageous though, you have to be able to pick out the important, detailed info as you read through the first time. You don't have time to go back a second time.

Wait, so if you go to the next page to answer to Qs, the highlight will be removed?
What the heck is the point of doing it then?
 
Take an AAMC PT.

The VR passages are split screen, passage on one side and questions on the other. You lose the highlighting when you move to another passage/question combo.

Side note: I think highlighting is a waste of time. You don't know what details are important until you read the questions.
