Hey guys,
I need some tips on how to excel in dual passage..
For me it just seems like that it's all about short-term memory..
Whenever a question comes up and asks, which one of the following is used in the first p, but not used in the second p?, I have to go all the way back to the passage and search for the correct answer, and, of course, this does take an enormous amount of time..
Hint?hint?

Re: any tip for dual passage?
my powerscore instructor gave us advice that has worked well for me: he said after you read passage A, go through the questions and answer questions specifically about passage A (such as what is the main point of psg A), then read passage B and answer the rest.
this way, you get a firmer hold on passage A before reading passage B. when you go to answer the questions on both passages B will be fresh in your mind and even though you didnt just read A, you will have a handle on what it said because answering the questions helps cement the ideas in your mind.
i think dual passages can be easier at times because of this method.
