There's a reading comprehension portion where you have short readings (about 4-5 paragraphs in length as I recall, but it's been a long time) and several questions based on the reading. The questions themselves are still short, 1-2 sentences, but the context for answering those questions is not. The "trick" for me on tests like that was to skim the reading and note key items (dates, names, topic terms) and then review the questions. Most of the time I could answer them directly, but if not I could go back to the reading and find the answer. Having skimmed it, I could jump straight to the relevant sentence(s).
