MCAT QStems and typical answers

Retrieval: explicit or paraphrase of passage details
Inference(specific): stems from passage details/characteristics and continues along from that thought (Most direct)
Inference(broad): stems from mp of passage
Vocab in context: why author uses term -> based on context and mp
MP/1 purpose: underlying message/point (was it an example for a larger point?)
New info: id issue presented in new info and correlate with related details and a response in accordance
Evaluate: evidence (examples/explanations) following cited reference
Structure: why author used evidence the way he did
Weaken- no passage req, but opposite of passage or internal contradiction
Strengthen- no passage req, but will support new info 
Romans- go with statements and reasonable inferences

Reading
 Read for underlying message and structure of passage
 Always go by formula: qytpe, keyword, reference, answer
