Hello Brothers and Sisters,
So I have been preparing for GMAT for quite some time as I started from 0 but now I got little confidence as I am able to solve CR and SC questions though still getting little time to solve them so speed is one issue there,
but the problem is RC and while solving such RC problems one thing I observe is my poor vocab as last night while attempting a question If I had known the meaning of the word Proliferate I would have marked the right answer instead.
So the thing is do we have some very commonly used difficult words in RC passages somewhere so that after learning i can increase my accuracy and speed ... and is this a good approach or a time-consuming one,
Also help me or guide me in the right direction of Solving RC passages
Thank you.

If you come across a word you do not know, one thing a person could try would be to look at the context of the sentences surrounding it to help get an idea.
I was voracious. I ate everything in the house.
Here, if a person didn't know what voracious meant, the next sentence could help give a sense. "At the very least, whatever that word means, it results in a person wanting to eat", for example.

Hi Nsp10.
There are some fairly commonly used words in RC and CR such that learning them could help you do better in RC.
"Proliferate" is one of them.
There's no list of GMAT vocabulary, but you could make a list of the words that you don't know and study your own list.
Also, it can help to learn to understand what's going on in a sentence or passage without knowing a word.
Regarding how to handle RC in general, this post has some great tips.
