Hello,
Can someone please help me improve my RC score?
Currently my accuracy in Easy, Medium and Hard questions is 100%, 80% and 40%-50%, respectively.
Though I focus on the main point of each paragraph and take down short notes, I tend to forget some important details and end up missing questions that revolve around specific details or wordings mentioned in the passage.
In order to get such questions correct I have to re-read the paragraphs and waste a lot of time.
I am fairly good at reading and understanding the text and message conveyed by the author.
Kindly advice what other approaches can I try to improve my score on hard level RCs questions.
Thank you

Improving RC skills in a short period of time is not easy.
It takes practice - and also a sense of what parts of a passage you should pay extra attention to and which ones you can quickly glance through.
Focus on transition words. Since many passages are very boring, try to do mental exercises to force yourself to get excited -- because when you are super excited -- your brain will be better able to be alert and comprehend what the heck is going on.
