What is the format of the Verbal Reasoning section?
Verbal Reasoning consists of 40 multiple choice questions based on several passages – each 500-600 words – from humanities, social sciences and science topics not tested in other MCAT sections. There are no independent questions in Verbal Reasoning. Sets of questions in Verbal Reasoning are presented in order of difficulty – that is, from easiest to hardest. This order is based on the average difficulty of the questions in each set. However, a given set of questions contains both easier and more difficult questions.
