MCAT CARS: Tone vs Main Idea in a Rembrandt Art Passage

Art passages making your MCAT CARS practice feel extra confusing? In this Jack Westin CARS Reading Skills Workshop, Molly and Jack break down a Rembrandt passage sentence by sentence and show you how to separate tone from main idea without getting lost in the details.

Using this Daily CARS Passage, they walk through:

How to spot tone words vs argument/content words

Why “always,” “never,” and other extreme phrases matter so much on CARS

How religion, nature, and spirituality are used to build the author’s main idea

When to ignore overly dense sentences and focus on clear, direct claims

How to track support (like pupil conversations and biblical references) without memorizing details

By the end, you’ll see how to read CARS passages like arguments, not puzzles, and how to turn vague “CARS anxiety” into specific, fixable skills.
