This might be a dumb question ...

Do RC questions for a particular passage show up consecutively?

I've been practicing with the OG for now, and all of the questions relevant to a passage show up at the same time.

I've searched on many sites, but nobody seems to be asking this question...

Am I missing something??

For a specific passage, all the questions pertaining to that passage will show up consecutively.

Hmm, so which is it guys?

On the real test, do RC questions for a particular passage show up consecutively or randomly??

During the test you will get anywhere from three to four RC passages they may come back to back or spread throughout the test. However when you get a RC passage there will be approx. 3-4 questions attached to that passage, they come consecutively with the passage. You will NOT be shown a passage asked a question and then 10 questions laster get another question about the aforementioned passage. Once the screen drops the passage no more questions will be asked. Try taking a practic etest you will understand what I am talking about.
