Just now realized i am struggling with RCs [#permalink] New post   31 Mar 2009, 04:48
Hi All ,

Just now i have realized that i am struggling with RCs

Struggling in the sense , my hit rate in RC is giving me good pendulum swings !!

In one GMAT prep exam out of 4 RCs i got only 2 questions wrong

in another exam i got around 4 questns wrong .

and y'day exam i got all correct for passage 1 and almost 9-10 wrongs in other 3 passages .

i started OG 11 again ( earlier done with half the RCs with around 85% hit rate ) but then again i got all the questions wrong for 2 successive passages ( May b i was not fresh when i staretd those , but still all the questns wrong !! )

Is it common for all to have this much variation when it comes to RCs ??

i hope ...its not

i definitely need a strategy here .

i have been scoring 32-33 in verbal and i know the importance of RCs to score good in verbal .

My exam is in one month . I need to improve verbal to 38-39 (or may b 40 btw the i know my limits :P)


Any advice is much appreciated .

I guess i was not in a good mood y'day .

I didnt see the explanations for the questions i got wrong and jus done with the same 3 passages today and got 6 wrong out of 20 .

RC is not that bad :D

but definitely need to improve more

Nitya ,

Thanks for your kind words . Definitely I would be doing 3-4 RC passages daily for next 1 month , but I need to finish OG 11 , supplement first

I am having the same issue with RC. I normally perform well in this area. However, on CATs, I have been getting many 700-800 wrong...I attribute it to been rushed under time constraint...definately clouds my judgement....I a practicing now under time...
