Help on RC:Going in loops - How did you manage to improve?

I am doing well in RC when not timed.However during tests, sometimes I panic,sometimes I try to do it fast,as a result pick wrong answers, sometimes I go into loops not able to figure what exactly was happenning.
I know I have to practice,practice and practice.But not everybody has lot of time left before the test. In fact, I read wall street journal daily (not for gmat purposes but biz news) , have been reading it past couple of years atleast.When I read non-gmat material ,I never find any problem.
Actually I am doing well in RC when time is not set. However in practice tests, where it is timed, I am making various mistakes. By the time I reach RC stage, I am drained a bit and definately not at my best.genral misakes are - I try to read too fast or too slow, sometimes re-reading the samething trying to clear the confusion and sometimes I find myself in a very awkard position trying to re-read the same 3-4 times and still with no clue what it means.(anybody in the same boat?)
I am trying differrent strategies referred in Kaplan and elsewhere but nothing seem to be working in the tests.I appreciate your suggestions especially how you managed to improve in RC.
Thanks.
