" Hello, I have been trying a lot, but RCs kn the GMAT are too tough for me. I have gone through PowerScore RC Bible. Watched GMAT Ninja Youtube Videos, but a little in Vain. I understand all the strategies required. But when I start reading a passage, I can’t seem to implement the strategy. For example, not dwelling too deep in the meaning, and find the structure, mainpoint, view points, etc.

My accuracy in GMAT OG Easy RCs is 82% but it reduces with difficulty, and overall it is between 50-60%

How do I improve my RC. Please Help"



Solve topic-wise Reading Comprehension passages using the Forum Quiz resource. It's an excellent resource for practice.

The strategy is to understand/deduce paragraph summaries for the individual paragraphs -- thus leading to a well-defined passage summary. That will assist gaining a 'complete' perspective of the contents of the passage.

While reading the passage. you need to pay special attention to contrast words in the passage -- however, but, whereas etc. Such portions of the passage generally figure in the questions.

Paragraph summary 1
Paragraph summary 2 --------------> (leading to) passage summary
Paragraph summary 3

Also, don't entangle yourself with understanding the details or the specifics. If a question pertains to the specific detail, the particular portion of the passage may be re-read before choosing the answer from amongst the various options.

All the Best.
