Write down on the scratch pad
STEP 2: Specialty of the passage as to why Author is writing this passage.
Mostly this will be in the second line of the passage
Specialty :
Write down on the scratch pad.

STEP 4: Very important ,
4a) SKIM for change in direction (Ex: However , yet , but, Despite, in spite, Although , even though ,Nonetheless, )
And note this change in Idea.
4b) SKIM for Tonal Words and note this tonal idea.(Ex: Unfortunately, one enemy , someone came in right timing,
truly , admittedly, unwillingly , and note this down.
Now you have to look at the scratch pad between STEP 1/STEP 2 and STEP 4 and carefully look what exactly is the CHANGE OF IDEA/Tonal Variation.
Repeat this for every Paragraph.Overall you should read only 4 to 5 sentences in the entire Passage in 1 to 2 minutes.
Notes should look like for each paragraph,
TOPIC/SCOPE:
SPECIALTY :
CHANGE in IDEA:
Note:for some paragraphs you might not see any CHANGE in IDEA or any tonal variation so just get STEP 1/STEP 2 for that Paragraph
SPEND most of the time in reading question and reading ALL answer choices very carefully.
With this you can easily crack RC.
