Has anyone else found this? Is it good practice trying to plow through these, or is it better to find some more understandable material that can be finished in a reasonable amount of time?
I agree with you and i am with you.
Most people categorize GMAT passage as short and long but i think kaplan passage qualifies for super long running upto 6 paragraphs.
I think Some 6 paragraph passage at the end of verbal section was ridiculus.
Take the diagonostic test RC section.
I am afraid if anybody could read two super long passage and solve around 11 questions with long options(worded) in 13 minutes.(with out guessing)
I confess i was not able to read all second passage.
Their length of CR question is equivalent to RC passage of others(atleast that of GMATprep) and options are too long which consumes lots of time to read.
So that may be one thing why people say their test is difficult.
Plus most of the question has 2 good answers and you have to choose best,which again consumes time.
so i am with you.
GMAT score is equally counted as your GPA and 78 clicks can change you life.
