So it's now May. How did the MCAT go?
Margret's idea about state and mind management is definitely worth it's weight in gold for now and long into the future of graduate school.
Personally, the notion that the designer's of the test are out to "trick" you is off base. The MCAT Verbal sections are out to test your verbal reasoning skills. If you consider them devious in some way...or boring as you described in your first post, you are inviting a kind of mental switch-off that can only serve to derail your mind doing it's best work.
PhotoReading the text and questions followed by skittering of the text seems best strategy for most of the kinds of materials you described. Rapid reading is ok if you have a way of keeping it moving.
Sorry if this came after the test, but hey, there will probably be plenty more, eh?
