Rext Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I've taken 3 FL's thus far (TPR if you're wondering) and have finished each VR section with ~10 minutes to spare. My scores were 10,10,12 respectively. I have no idea why I have so much extra time left over...Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawalac Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Because you're really good at verbal? When I did the TPR's I was getting crushed (6,7,8's). I've asked around and the consensus is that TPR verbals are harder then the AAMC's. I found this to be true, as I am doing much better on the AAMC's (10,11's). You're probably going to smash the AAMC verbals. Lucky you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayward son Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I've taken 3 FL's thus far (TPR if you're wondering) and have finished each VR section with ~10 minutes to spare. My scores were 10,10,12 respectively. I have no idea why I have so much extra time left over...Help? My goal was to finish each Kaplan and AAMC section with at least 5 minutes to spare, figuring that the real MCAT would take a little longer due to nerves. Generally always had about 10 minutes to spare in each verbal (except AAMC 7 - it had a passage that killed my time). So I definitely wouldn't do anything different.

astrogirl Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Because you're really good at verbal? Yep, this. If it happens on the real test, you could go back and check answers you're uncertain of, or just move on to the next section and get to go home a few minutes early!

Rext Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Could you enlighten us with some of your strategy Oh lol. I've been following EK's strategy. I find it especially helpful to stereotype the author and then try answering the questions in their perspective. Practice is still the key so do lots and lots of passages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you read through the entire passage without writing anything down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rext Posted July 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2010 Do you map anything at all? Or do you read through the entire passage without writing anything down? I don't formally map anything for two main reasons: 1. It forces you to focus on particular segments of a passage and interferes with your ability to perceive the passage as a whole. 2. It consumes too much time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
