710 (Q:49, V:39)

700 plus, my biggest problem in RC was concentration and I addressed that in my post. I really did not have any strategy for RC. Unfortunately none of the methods suggested by the prep books like skimming, reading the 1st and last paragraph etc worked for me.

I basically read the RC start to finish with full attention. If I saw any facts or names mentioned I would quickly jot down the line number and did not try to memorize them. The idea was if there was any specific questions I could go back to the line number and reread it. As I read each paragraph I would try to rephrase in my head the main point of the paragraph.

As far as timing, I think I tried to read each RC in 3-4 minutes. Since I read them quite thoroughly I was able to answer the questions in less than 1-2 mins.
