Hello Friends,
RC prep is often underestimated. However, it is the skill and performance on RCs that often decides one's success on the GMAT.
Perception: “I’m good at reading; RC doesn’t need preparation.”
Being generally good at reading is not the same as being skilled at solving GMAT Reading Comprehension. The material we read in everyday life rarely carries the structure, density, or subtlety of GMAT passages. Ordinary texts do not pose intricate questions or present tempting wrong options.
Perception: “My overall GMAT prep automatically covers RC.”
In reality, the opposite is true. The ability to read and interpret complex text, and to answer questions based on that reading, is built through focused RC practice. This very skill improves performance in Multi-Source Reasoning, Critical Reasoning, and several word-based questions across Two-Part Analysis, Table Analysis, Graphics Interpretation, and even Problem Solving.
Truth: RC preparation deserves its own focus.
Start by developing a structured approach for reading and answering RC questions attentively. Then apply that method to numerous passages to build accuracy. Once accuracy stabilizes, work toward balancing it with speed. Through this process, you will learn recurring GMAT RC question types, recognize common traps, and strengthen both speed and precision—skills that naturally enhance your performance across the GMAT.
So, please do not underestimate RC preparation. It forms over half of the Verbal section and builds comprehension skills that serve you across every question type on the GMAT.
Here is a quick training video that explains a broad method for tackling Reading Comprehension questions. Practice this approach on real RC sets — try solving multiple passages in one sitting. Focus first on accuracy; once you consistently cross 80%, begin timing yourself. With steady practice, you will find yourself mastering RCs
