Hi experts,
and my friend JonShukhrat
please do help me in understanding the RC
RC i have been following many tactics,
1. fast reading and making errors( around 4/8) , I grew an unsettled thinking while doing this
2. if is do it slowly then even then i make few errors as (3/8) i am boiling down to 2 in each satisfactorily.
but the second one takes time which will for sure stress me enough to spoil my whole test.
3. Definitely i am getting few patterns of mistake to identify and rectify permanently, changing few words in ans choices such as institutions to individuals etc . Am i supposed to waste the GMAC sources to find these or i am supposed to practice in other sources first . But practicing in other sources i might be picking the wrong patterns initially.
Moreover i also wavering between reading fast and slow as few prep companies say read slow as egmat,
few say to read fast like veritas and manhattan.
I am ready to take any advice and practice as much as possible whatever the best method .
I am a non native speaker. But definitely i am ready to practice whatever the best.
i know i incoherently expressed my views. As i have lots of questions unanswered in my mind , it is being expressed from my mind in this fashion.
sorry about that, but ur advice is very much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi ccheryn,
When it comes to the GMAT, you do NOT need to be a 'fast' reader, but since you do need to reasonably understand what you are reading, "skimming" text is not a good idea either. Reading at a reasonable pace - and consistently taking organized notes - are both really important aspects of scoring at a high level in RC (and every other question type on the GMAT).
Before I can offer you the specific advice that you’re looking for, it would help if you could provide a bit more information on how you've been studying and your goals:
Studies:
1) How long have you studied? How many hours do you typically study each week?
2) What study materials have you used so far?
3) On what dates did you take EACH of your CATs/mocks and how did you score on EACH (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores for EACH)?
Goals:
4) What is your overall goal score?
5) When are you planning to take the GMAT?
6) When are you planning to apply to Business School?
7) What Schools are you planning to apply to?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
Rich

For me, just read it VERY slowly, so that u can understand the reading perfectly. then read the questions, rephrase ur own answers, then check the given answers. best of luck!
