<p>I wondered if reading Nature articles (as well as other challenging nonfictions) actively would be a good long term training for verbal skills demanded on the MCAT.
Does Nature (or bioscience) articles are typical of the kind of science passages found on the MCAT?</p>

<p>Disclaimer: I am in no way SERIOUSLY preparing for the MCAT (I haven't got the science knowledge required yet). However, because of my poor verbal skills, I would like to prepare for a long term goal since I realize that English skills can't be acquired overnight or even in a summer.
Also, I try to merge my training with my interests because I really enjoy reading about scientific advances, innovations, techniques...</p>

<p>Thanks for any advices.
However, I would really appreciate it if you could be less virulent than some posts I have recently read on CC (be it negative or positive).</p>

<p>It's not the subject that matters, it's the style. Forget Nature and all that crap. Read stuff like the Economist. That's the magazine I read when prepping for the MCATs. I think other people on this forum can recommend magazines in a similar vein.</p>

<p>Do you know if "The New Yorker" or "Times" would fit?</p>
