Hello Experts,
How do I imbibe habit of reading approach which is being taught for CR and RC?
I read newspapers and novel but how do I know if I am taking away correct ideas, logical connection and understanding tone of author, if I am able to crack this for various open sources articles it will help me to build confidence on my reading approach and apply it consistently.
Thanks!

Hi Chimz,
To develop a strong reading approach for GMAT Critical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension, it's essential to engage actively with the text you read daily, whether it be newspapers, novels, or articles.
Start by asking yourself key questions: What is the main idea? What are the supporting details? What is the author's tone and purpose? This practice helps identify the core elements of the text. Summarizing and paraphrasing sections in your own words also reinforces your understanding and ensures you capture the main argument, key supporting details, and the author's tone, whether it's critical, supportive, or neutral.
As you read, look for logical connections such as cause and effect, contrasts, comparisons, and examples used to support arguments. Annotating your reading material by underlining or highlighting key points and writing brief notes can reinforce your comprehension and make review easier.
Reviewing and reflecting on your summaries and comparing them to the actual content helps refine your approach, as does seeking feedback from others who have read the same material.
Finally, making reading a daily habit exposes you to diverse writing styles, improving your ability to analyze texts quickly and accurately. By consistently practicing these steps, you'll build the confidence needed to apply your reading approach effectively in various contexts, ultimately enhancing your performance on the GMAT CR and RC sections.
