![]() ![]() ![]() Sometimes you don't, but that's my experience! Some people don't read them as much and do fine haha. In my own experience, I have found that if I skip through it I almost always come back having to read it anyway due to lack of understanding. I will sometimes glance at the question before I read it because there are a few you can get without understanding the passage, but the more I practice the more I have found myself slowing down, reading the passage for understanding, highlighting the names of key relationships ("protein x is an inhibitor for enzyme Y", "protein x functions at low pH" etc, because it usually results in easy points later. Other than that, as far as the test strategy itself, I feel like the passages really do give you the answers to many of the questions and you just have to find them. This worked for me and my sciences background but may not for everyone. I have Kaplan books but have mostly looked at the "high yield" material as marked by them, and then I like to do timed practiced UEarth questions. and I try to really learn the stuff I am missing. TBH I have done far more practice questions than content review. It has worked out fairly well for me so far! I really like getting the discretes out of the way quick. I do all the discrete (non passage based questions) first with ~1 minute/question, then give myself 8 minutes/passage. I think it is important, especially around the middle of the section, to not let yourself slow down too much! Otherwise you don't give yourself a fair shot at the last few. Timing! I felt like I never get sufficient time for the last couples passages and have been missing easy points, so I worked on that. To be honest my last chem phys was a 127, this one came up 3 points which I was really happy about because I practiced a lot, but it could have just been content I happen to have studied! With that said, here are a few things I worked on to bring it up: ![]()
