Hi all!
Basically, whenever I'm doing a timed practice of RC, I always get great results. Even doing a number of harder difficulty questions, marked on here as level 700, I usually get around 90% correct. However, when I attempt any RC in a practice test, I always feel super nervous and get around 50% correct, even on medium difficulty questions. It is hard to describe, but when I'm reading the text in a test, I feel this mental strain, as if my brain is overloading and I cannot process the text fully - I never get this during normal practice.
Obviously this greatly affects my results, so I was wondering if anyone had similar problems and would share ways to overcome them - that would be greatly appreciated. Surprisingly, I do not get the same feeling when doing CR or SC.

achbaa - Such anxiety is not the cause of a problem; instead, they are results of a bigger problem: faulty strategies and lack of practice. At this point in time, you have to practice a minimum of 4-6 read compression passages every single day. Please visit the reading comprehension forum to find some of the best resources to improve your sectional ability in RC.
