Premedstudent0307 Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to improve in this category for the MCAT? I have been doing a few practice passages here and there and I get most of the questions wrong and see no improvement. I don't even know how to study or improve on this section because I don't know what I am doing wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makingfetchhappen Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 There are lots of posts on this topic, but I know it can be hard to search the forum. MathToMed wrote a very good one about VR that you should search out.I have said this on other threads I think, but my best tip is this: I would pause very briefly after each paragraph to think to myself "what is this paragraph saying". Then I would write down a few words to summarize that point. Max like 4 words. It helped a lot because a lot of the questions are about what is the main idea of the passage. If you have thought about it already, you are one step ahead. You also have a bit of a map of the passage to go back to. I actually ended up going back to the passages to find info or check if my memory was correct quite often. I think that going back to check things in the passage is a lot more helpful than you would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
