Re: Need advice [#permalink]
Thanks everyone. I am saving the GmatPrep for a later day maybe a week from now. I am unsure of what is going wrong with RC since I was always good at it ,even in school. Some of the mistakes have been because of a lack of concentration from my side and I am working on it. I will definitely go through the strategies presented by GMAT pill and I will come to you guys if needed after my first attempt.

Thanks all. Please do give me some good resources for RC questions. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks again.

RC - There is very little theory here though it is still a good idea to know the question types and the various strategies you could use. Whatever RC material you have, I would suggest you to read up on the various types of questions e.g. Main idea, Inference etc and how to approach these question types. Do not get specific detail questions wrong since you can just cross check if you have any doubt. It is important to take a note of scope, tone, organization and purpose of the passage after your first full read. You can even go in for a quick second read if need be. This time you will be much faster and things will make much more sense. Thereafter, you can jump to the questions. The important thing here is to find which strategy works for you and then practice lots of questions using it. Also, don't do 10 passages in 1 day and then none the next. Work on 2-3 passages everyday to fine tune your strategy and get the best results.

Also, there is no point keeping the GMAT prep test till the last day. If you wait another day, you will get your official result itself. Put the test to good use by finding out your weaknesses. Take it properly in timed conditions as seriously as you can and then analyze where things went wrong and what you need to focus on. Then use the next 2-3 weeks to work on the areas you identify.
