For RC, During Practice take as much time as possible to understand the RC very deeply, all the questions stem and answer choices. As you practice this and your ability to make connections increases, time in RC would eventually reduce but this requires deliberate conscious efforts to understand everything very deeply during practice.

But every passage is different, does it really improve the accuracy
Yes it totally improves accuracy, atleast I can say from my experience. Reading Comprehension is basically how well you comprehend the given text. If you consistently practice to deeply understand different RC's, your ability to make connections and understand the text in less time would increase and that would be very much reflected on your accuracy on the questions.

When the GMAT presents you with two facts that seem completely contradictory, your instinct might be to argue with the facts. Don't do it. Your job is simply to find the missing puzzle piece that makes the weird situation make perfect, logical sense.

Hello Team, Good Morning Good Evening!
@bb any ways you can find the reason for this ?
Any backend logs that you take manually to identify why this got happened?
My initial observation and hunch is the first question values more than other question is this correct in backend algo? I heard everywhere its just a myth but wanted to confirm if that is the case. Thanks for all your help & support to understand this dynamic unpredictable points algo.

Hi. There is an issue with question selection for those who perform in mid-tier. Algorithm has been hoarding hard questions and not giving them to people, but we have an update coming that should fix this tomorrow night.

PS. On the focus edition the first questions are much less important. It’s almost not visible

Do you mean to say that the impact of getting the first question wrong is subtle, and not too much

Because I’ve heard people mentioning frequently that an incorrect answers in the first few questions impact a lot

Yes. The impact is much more uniform it seems based on my experiments with GMAT prep official exams
