i'm taking TPR. i do what they tell me to do. i do the prereadings before class. i do the homework they assign. i show up to class. however, when it comes to doing a passage (especially the BS and PS passages), it seems as if it has NOTHING to do with what i'm studying.. for instance-- lets say they assign homework on reading a chapter about cell respiration.. i read it, know everything inside and out, and then we do a passage in class in our workbooks that we can assume is related to what we've just studied.. only problem is that the passage seems to have traces of what we've just studied the night before, but its completely different.. to make it worse, approaching the problems after the passages requires more logic and knowing where things are in the passage than knowing the subject matter of cell respiration.. is anyone else experiencing this???????

The MCAT is a test of logic and reasoning skills, not just sole memorization. Maybe that is your problem, that you are trying memorize rather then understand conceptually what's happening and applying it to a situation.

Also, the ICC passasges that instructors offer in class are tougher then workbook passages, but very good ideas about how MCAT passages are.

I have the same symptom with VR...it's all about how you think and process info. For science sections I can eliminate 3 answer choices for nearly every question, but not so with VR...ugh
