Research Prep. MCAT CARS: The Medical College Admission Critical Analysis & Reasoning Skills Test Prep. Book - Paperback

by Kat McKay (Author), Daniel Dal Monte (Author), Bailey Gunn (Editor)

Prepare for the MCAT Critical Analysis & Reasoning Skills (CARS) section with Research Prep.'s question book. Our detailed questions and answer keys will provide you with everything you need to succeed on the MCAT CARS section. The MCAT CARS section comprises one section of the MCAT, and it covers three skill sets: Foundations of Comprehension, Reasoning Within the Text, and Reasoning Beyond the Text. The questions following each passage, within each skill set, will fall into sub-categories. These sub-categories represent the type of analysis that test takers will apply to answer each question. The questions will ask about passages that are each approximately 500 to 600 words long, and each passage will have a bank of 5 to 7 questions listed immediately thereafter. Generally, the MCAT CARS section will have 53 questions in total and 90 minutes of test time to complete the section. (The MCAT was slightly shortened and condensed during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the total time per CARS question remains the same.) Research Prep. and McKay Research will teach you how to tackle each question with a straightforward approach: read the question stem to understand what is being asked; review the answer choices; and use the process of elimination to exclude any clearly incorrect possibilities. Research Prep. and McKay Research will help you to conquer many test questions. We will teach you how to best consult the passage to determine which of the answer choices is most fully supported by the text. The book will also show you how to choose the best answer to the question being asked and why it is the most fully supported by the text of the passage. The book teaches by asking questions and providing detailed answer keys so that you can increase your MCAT CARS score through practice!
