Well, I am taking a Kaplan MCAT review course. I haven't been in school for more than 10 years. I pretty much kept in touch with my science knowledge because of all the science I read throughout the years. I got my diagnostic back with a score that is discouraging. In particular is my verbal score. I got 100% on science reading passage. 85% on the social reading passage. A whopping 0% on the humanities reading passage!!! How do I increase my accuracy on the humanities reading passage? I got the Kaplan workbooks to go through, but I'm afraid, that that won't be enough to raise my grade to over 75% on the humanities. (This week, we do verbal reading work.) What else can I do? Where can I get extra practice? Is it possible to review from other exams where reading comprehension may be much harder? For example, perhaps GRE English exam has a much tougher reading comprehension passages. The idea being, if I can get a decent score on passages/questions that are much more difficult than MCAT passages, then MCAT passages would be a breeze. Any good suggestions/ideas/books? thanks. (Aside, how is it possible to have such an extreme in grades for the reading passages? I have a guess. All I ever read is science even in my spare time. I never read fiction, or essays on fiction. In fact, I must spend close to $200 on science periodicals alone per month. I'm not including the amount I spend on books. I read so much science, that the non-humanity passages felt like 'autopilot'; something I've already read in the past at some time. Still, this explains the high score on the non-humanities, but not the super low score on the humanities.)
