Section 3: Reading Comprehension
Evaluation: The overall feel of this section was moderate to difficult. This section was lengthy and time consuming. As usual the passages were based on sciences, business, and a few areas from humanities. Most of the questions were inferential and required complete understanding of the passages. This section required contextual understanding of the text and if one had not included variety in reading then it would have been difficult for the test taker to maximize the attempts and accuracy.
