Critical Reading and Data Interpretation

Mastering MCAT Passages

The MCAT often presents complex passages with data. Practice reading for main ideas and interpreting graphs or tables. Look for trends, relationships, and anomalies in the data to answer questions accurately.

  • Skim passages for structure before diving into details
  • Annotate graphs and tables to spot key information

Examples

  • Highlighting main points in a biology passage.

  • Drawing quick sketches of experimental setups to clarify concepts.
