Drill RC passages or sections?

Hello all, yes this is another RC discussion topic. I was wondering if I should drill RC sections or just the passages. I have been doing both and feel like I should be completely getting these passages right and understand them before I do timed sections.

I've been doing timed sections. I was doing individual passages,but as the test gets closer, I thought it would be best to try and do it exactly how I would be seeing it in the exam. It's more than just doing a passage. It's the timing from switching between them, marking your answers, learning when to give up on a question when it's sucking time, and how to best organize how you do the passages to maximize your mark.

That's just what I think anyways!

PJ,
Another option if you have time: Work your RC the same way you would Games or LR. By that, I mean, go through old ones you've already done and identify the question types you get wrong (structure, inferences, MC/MP, etc) and then work on the ones you're getting wrong.

Otherwise, I'm with @Harrismegan on doing full sections this close to test day since that's how you'll see them on game day.

Good luck!
