Here is my observation from solving the RC in the OG. Are these questions tough or is it me?
What happens is that I do the first section, i get 3 out of 6 questions, then i do the next, i get all 6 questions right.
Is it me or what?
I understand the passages are not of the same difficulty but any hints/pointers?
The consistency of my HIT/MISS ratio scares me.
I reviewed the first 8 passages and i got

Passage 1.--2 out of 6
Passage 2.---6 out of 6
Passage 3.--3 out of 6
Passage 4---6 out of 6
Passage 5.--4 out of 6
Passage 6--6 out of 6
Passage 7--3 out of 6
Passage 8--6 out of 6

Is this how it's going to be throughout the OG and the actual test?

if you are doing 1 & 2 at a stretch, then it could be because of increased focus - try doing 3 to 5 passages at a go and see what happens!

Thanks Vithal!
I actually spoke too soon, my score pattern has changed and has consistently improved.
I was cutting corners initially but i just realized i have to play by the rules. :lol:
