Re: Verbal: RC help! [#permalink]
Amazing explanation from rhyme !!! Wow!! I'm impressed.

I have maximum difficulties to have a good score on RC, even if all the other domains (quant / RC / SC) are good.
This approach is just great. I followed his advice on his text and this is just clear.

I'm going to take a few days to work with this method, which definitely saves time. (If I have bad results, at least I will have dedicated less time lol).

I'll give you my feedback in a few days.

Re: Verbal: RC help! [#permalink]
Thanks all (and especially Alex).
I am going to give this method a try as my verbal results seriously damage my total score (very slow and very bad in RC and CR).
I have nothing to loose so I will give it a try as soon as tomorrow.

Must say a nice strategy, and I appreciate it very much. I have solved the example, and prima facia, it appears to be effective. Surely going to try....lets see..How effectively I can cover it up... :|

Great thread and kudos to Rhyme.

Though I tried to implement his tips in couple of RCs and I still need to master the technique but yeah, it saves a lot of time especially on the ones where you have some background and are relatively interesting. However, if I apply this on the ones which are blues to me ... I get stuck.

Perhaps, I need to KEEP PRACTICNG !

2 Good!!!Awesome!!!!

It seems to be a gr8 way to tackle lengthy RCs(at least 3 paras) but what about shorter RCs(1 or 2 paras)
Could experts please explain how to tackle those RCs (1 or 2 paras).
