I can help you get to perfection on RC in as few as 10 days.

I have helped many non-native speakers get to perfection on RC, and I am confident that you'll be able to get every primary purpose question correct after just a 2- hour session with me.

I can help you connect with my students, with whom you can talk directly, and verify my bold claim.

Regards,
Muhammad Ali Tariq.

P.S:

Have a look at my Primary Purpose related post here:

I have discussed something related with RC's strategy in following posts:

Hi LongTermWarrior,

Many GMATers (both native and non-native) find RC to be challenging - so you're not alone. Those types of questions are generally not too difficult, but if you're consistently getting them wrong, then there might be some issue with how you are reading and taking notes during your RCs (and by extension, making some slight changes to how you work through those prompts could provide a big 'fix' to this issue).

Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:

Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far? What “brands” of CATs/mocks have you used?
3) On what dates (or approximate dates) did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?

Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to apply to Business School and what Schools are you planning to apply to?

GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,

Hi LongTermWarrior,

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Thank you all for your comments.

bb I apply this technique (i.e. thinking of an answer before reading the options) to every question except for SC and DS (obviously), I like forcing myself to get the answer without hints/elimination of the options given. However, for the "main purpose of the passage" questions I always end up with 2/3 options that seem correct.

Whenever I fail a question I don't spend time understanding why (yet) as I just mark the question as wrong and I continue with the next one. I plan to go over all wrong questions during my last 2 weeks of prep and only then, go over the explanations to understand why my asnwers are wrong.

You should review your mistakes right after your quiz. That’s a big part of the learning. If you’re doing some boxing and you’re keeping your right hand to low and you’re getting hit on your chin all the time, you don’t want to keep doing that probably 😉

Try to fix your mistakes right away and understand why you made them and pursue solutions to avoid them in the future

Probably better to solve RC main idea questions in different way than the other types of RC questions (i.e. inference). Sent you a pm.

bb makes sense. I chose this way because I already spend 2h/day doing questions from the OG and was trying to save time as I work long hours but maybe it is worth changing my strategy so I'll start reviewing the answers today even if I have to do less questions (I still have 1.5months to go for the real exam).
