MCAT CARS Strategy: Beating Dense Passages (Western Colonization Breakdown)

Struggling with dense MCAT CARS passages full of history, old quotes, and abstract ideas? In this CARS Reading Skills Workshop, Molly and Jack walk through the Jack Westin daily passage “Western Colonization” sentence by sentence and show you how to stay calm, focused, and accurate even when the passage feels impossible.

Using this tough passage, they show you how to:

- Tell the subject apart from the author’s argument

- Track big ideas like glory, colonization, and commerce without getting lost

- Notice when the author does not actually agree with what they just said

- Deal with confusing Old English quotes and still pull out what matters

- Avoid dangerous assumptions that wreck CARS questions

- Find the true main idea, not just the first sentence of each paragraph

- Stay confident when a passage feels boring, dense, or way above your comfort zone
