Guys
I have read every article I could possibly find on the subject, have changed strategy from skimming to understanding the passage in the first go, however after almost 1 month of changes, study etc I don't see any major improvement in accuracy on RC.
Major problem areas are:
1) detail question
2) inference question
On both these types I am most of the times left with 2 options and end up selecting the wrong option most of the times.
I also prepare notes for each paragraph of the passage but usually end up relying upon my memory to answer these questions as I am usually short of time and hence don't get the opportunity to get back to the passage to search for details. I take up 5-6 minutes to read and understand the passage and I think this could be a major area of improvement, though don't know how to cut this time to 3-4 mins max.
Any strategy to improve accuracy? Please help....I need it.
Regards

Hi gmat730must,
You've defined some broad issues that you're having with RC, but it would help if you could provide more specific information about how you've been studying and how you deal with the overall Verbal section.
1) What materials have you used to study for the Verbal section? You've referred to "reading articles", but that does not sound like you've really been training in RC Tactics.
2) How have you scored on each of your CATs (including the Quant and Verbal Scaled Scores)?
3) How much time do you spend on a typical SC or CR prompt?
GMAT assassins aren't born, they're made,
