Hi,

I noticed that I get almost all of the questions correctly on topics that are not social studies/humanities.

I couldn't care less about how person X interprets Y vs how person X2 interprets it, and what they think about woman labor in the 16th century.
When reading a SS/Humanities text, I try to force myself to be extra aware and 'engaged' (even though what I am reading is complete bullshit).

I intentionally read these paragraphs 50% slower, and take 50-100% more time answering the questions.
Yet in those types of questions I get most of the questions wrong.(in other texts my accuracy is ~85%)
I noticed that I refer back to the text for every question, multiple times even, and still get it wrong.(In other types of RC I rarely if ever need to refer to the text)

What am I doing wrong? How can I improve?
I don't feel as if solving more RC will help me - when I get the questions wrong, I can't extract any valuable lessons from it - I try to understand why the correct one is correct and why mine isn't, but it usually boils down to "I should have understood the text/question better", which is too general and not applicable.

Thank you

What worked for me was that, I read a lot of material on that subject. That made me familiar with the terms, ideas and subject matter. Give it a try.

You need to improve your fundamental reading skills.
Try the following books:- https://gmatclub.com/forum/books-to-rea ... ml#p572735
Personally, Guns Germs and Steel and Thinking Fast and Slow were 2 books that really helped me improve my Reading comprehension skills.
