Reading Comprehension General Q

[g_bethanis]

Is it true that I will encounter exactly 4 Reading Comprehension passages on any GMAT exam? And those will always comprise of 2 long and 2 short ones?

Having said that, will these questions be spread across the verbal part randomly? So I could possibly have them all in the beginning, or all in the end?

I am asking because I have time-trouble on those questions, so I would like to know how many and at what point I should expect them.

there are no guarantees about any of this. the GMAT will do whatever it wants with respect to placement and structure of its RC passages. sorry.. :)
