Need help with comprehending passages

Are you not able to understand passages because you have to rush through them ?If that's the case then I think first what you should do is just read each passage carefully without worrying about the time . Then keep practicing this way and then focus on improving your speed . If you feel that you need a lot of help with your basics , then you could try starting off with the MGMAT Verbal Foundations book . When you are trying to read a passage , try to get involved in the topic . This is very important to keep your interest . If you lose interest or just "hate" the topic of the passage , then it's unlikely that you'll understand anything in the passage .

Regarding the "rules for CR" - I personally feel that you should'nt use any kind of rules for CR . There's no use in memorizing a bunch of rules , CR is just logic . These question just test your reasoning ability . In fact by memorizing rules , you might be preventing your brain from being able to do any kind of logical reasoning . For CR and RC just stick to the OG questions , doing questions from other sources is just going to confuse you .
