From what I've learned so far, RC question on the GMAT will go 2-3 questions for the short passage and 3-4 for the long passage.
As I go through the problems in the OG, I noticed that most passages have actually more questions. I just completed a long passage that had 9 questions. From what I have learned through MGMAT, I should spend 2-3 minutes for short and 3-4 for long passages. For general questions 60 seconds and for specific questions 90 seconds.
The long passage that had 9 questions had only one main idea question, 5 supporting idea questions, 2 inference questions and one logical structure question. It took me almost 15 minutes to finish the passage and it seems to me too long. I read it in 4 minutes, and for the 9 questions it took me a little less than 11 minutes. Every time I get so many questions in a passage I feel I tend to rush because I always time myself. Could I get some advice please?
One more thing, how many RC questions should I expect on the actual test? Thanks a lot!

You should expect anywhere from 12-14 questions on RC.
Part III: Verbal Section (41 questions, 75 minutes)
A. Critical Reasoning (14 or 15)
B. Reading Comprehension(4 passages, 12-14)
C. Sentence Correction (14 or 15)

The key to reading quickly is not to read every single word individually. You need to train your eyes to only focus on the important transitionary words and constantly ask yourself what the author's purpose. Try watching some of these videos explaining how to read RC.

Great! +1
When I read the RC guide I could not understand what I was supposed to do. I though I did, but now I know better. I am really glad that you shared this video, you did a great job in explaining.
Cannot wait to try out this approach
