How many of those 6 RCs have only 1 question and how many have 2 questions? I can live with 2 questions, but 2 seem like very bad experience.
What do you think about including the RC easy questions as well on the fake test? (I’m at V41 level ~~)
sweetlyimproved You're right, this is far from ideal, but timed sets of official questions are still great practice. Including only mediums and hards, 4 passages have 2 questions, and 2 have 1 question. Full details are in the screenshot below. Yes, it is reasonable to include the RC easy: the advantage is you are less likely to have too few questions per passage, but the downside is you are more likely to have too many questions per passage and/or too many total RC questions.
If you're around V41, I also recommend the GMAT Official Advanced Questions (
https://amzn.to/3cZ4Ckf), which you can set up at efficientlearning.com. Unfortunately, this also has RC issues if you're trying to simulate a practice test; you can randomly shuffle CR and SC, but the RC passages are always put at the start of the problem set. For example, in a test I just did, a set of 40 problems had 15 RC problems at the very start, from only 2 passages. (There are 50 RC questions spread across 8 passages, for an average of 6.25 questions per passage. The range is between 4 - 8 questions per passage.) In 3 other tests, I got 6, 10, and 20 RC problems, so it can vary wildly. Potentially, you could set a separate countdown timer, and adjust it up or down if you get a wildly large or small number of RC questions. Alternatively, set it up in "Study" mode and hit the "Next" button repeatedly to check the question composition before starting the set; the downside of "Study" mode is that it can be distracting to immediately see whether your answer choice is correct or incorrect.
Best wishes with your GMAT Training!
I have attempted 12 questions in RC. It was 12 passages with each have 1 question. How is it possible.
