Very hard for me, but I think the key was to go back into the passages and re-read content to verify answers. Unfortunately, this cost me a lot of time and didn't properly answer 7 questions between two passages.
Just curious but did anyone actually understand the second passage on inner thought or inferences or found some of the questions easy? From hindsight after a night's sleep all I remember was I did 3-4 questions first round then moved on to the next two passages and then came back at 32 mins to do the last few questions but had no idea and now I don't think I got the 3-4questions I did the first time around correct since I dont even know the passage. No idea what I did when I answered the 3-4 questions. Were there easy questions that didnt require understanding?
Going into the test, RC was supposed to be a strength for me so you can imagine how I felt when the first section of the test was that brutal RC section. Completely rattled. I'm just hoping it didn't throw me off too much. I felt my rhythm was pretty good on the LR questions although their were 3-4 really difficult ones.
How many Q's there were in the 3rd passage?. I skipped it completely & I wanna see how many did I blindly guess

Yikes....I wonder what the curve is....
In order to get a 170, you sometimes can to miss up to 11 or even 14 questions. It depends on the difficulty of the test.

Jesus H. Christ. Now I'm worried about RC more than LG. This test drive me crazy. Next thing we will all be "fool proofing" RC passages 1-35.
You're spitting nothing but straight up facts, my man. lmaoo
Im in the same boat as you guys.. I pretty much guessed on all the second passage questions then ran out of time with 5 questions left on the last passage so I had to guess on those.. Ive been averaging -5 on the PrepTests but I honestly could have missed 12 on this section
I have no idea how I did either. I finished everything just in time, but it was my first section and I was so nervous that I barely remember the first two passages.
Still have no idea what it is (the water thing) but at least the passage was structually easy to understand. I think the last 2 questions were hard though. At first I thought it was the science passage but maybe the inner thoughts one was the science passage? None of them were really science heavy though
I feel like now the last passage on court judges may have had a lot of trap answers even though the passage themselves were easy. Actually I still don't fully understand what Passage B wanted fully :P
Man the stupid dowsing....so I don't get it, you drag a stick in the water or something? Wtf? God i need to see my score...?
Is it just me or does everyone else have no idea what your RC score is. I typically average -5 over the last 2 weeks. Before then was -7,-8 really consistently and the highest being -10 but right now I have no clue with that inner thoughts passage that ruined my entire RC, coupled with a few tricky Jazz + Trial Court questions. For me it could be anywhere from -5 to -13 :(
Ussually hard passages have some free questions but not this inner thought one
Yea the psychological one I was dying . coming from a psychology major
Yes, my brain went blank!
Did anyone find themselves like guessing the entire Second Passage on Inner Thought inferences?

One of the hardest, especially the first two passages. Third one was the easiest and 4th one was average
i must have mixed them up then. do you remember the topics for 1 and 2?
First =Jazz Second= KId/Adult Inner Thought [HARDEST, really weird, abstract] Third=Water finding Fourth = Judge Research
Second, First=Fourth [TIE], then the Third in hardest to easiest imo

First one was about Jazz, second was about psychological inference & children
agreed. I messed up timing it on my watch and didn't get past 2nd question of the last passage. I thought the last passage was the hardest one...

when i started reading the first passage, in my head i was like f*** its over. Passages 3 and 4 weren't bad, felt like passages 1 and 2 were harder. Flipped it on us.

Anyone remember how many questions on the second passage on inner thought inferences?
