Hi everyone,


I was wondering what is the length of RC passages in GMAT? Are they becoming shorter than they were a couple of years?

How many paragraphes are there in a RC passage?


Just asking as I can see in OG 12th ed. some very short passages and at the end, 45-55 lines passages...

Moreover, long passages tends to be easier to understand than short passages....

Can someone help me?

Thanks!!!

In GMAT you can expect three short passages and 1 long passage.

If you are doing pretty well you can see 2 short and 2 long passages.
