<p>Based on the practice tests I've taken, I notice I do really well on passages (Pretty much all of them correct) where the author is just arguing a certain point. Basically passages that look like they've come out of of a newspaper or magazine article, or even an informative book. But when I get to a passage that is narrative, and it looks like it came out of a novel, I don't do nearly as well on them (I recall getting half of the questions wrong on one). For some reason, I just have trouble comprehending these narrative passages. Does anyone have any similar experience with this? And was there anything you did to better yourselves at these?</p>
<p>I agree; I’ve had the same problem because the narrative ones tend to have some subtle meaning that is implied so you have to read more closely to grasp a concept in the passage. The questions will confuse you if you don’t analyze almost all of the passage for strange metaphors, special terms, etc.</p>
<p>Just read the passage and the questions more closely and you should be fine.</p>
