Hello, I have struggled with RC since the very begining of GMAT, I have taken two CATS in the past 2 weeks and scored close to a 30% accuracy in RC questions. In some cases I get all the questions wrong, and other times I have to guess through the last RC passage because I do not have enough time.
Can anyone recommend any ways I can improve RC quickly? I really do not have any strategies other then writing down key points from each paragraph etc... Should I just do 10 to 15 RC questions each day and hope that I will get better? Are there any specific exercises I can do? I have studied off the kaplan premier 2016 book the past 20 days and want to take the gmat in 2 or 3 weeks at the most. Im getting low 30's in the verbal section primarily driven by RC then CR and SC I do very good.
For CR, I have read the powerscore bible and done a ton of problems, other then checking them and doing more problems I do not know what else to do...
My weakest points are RC and CR, could anyone recommend my any sources or study plans that can help me improve my score?

Hey Oloman,
For CR, we recommend a visual framework approach to help you understand the complex short passages and how each item relates to each other.
To improve RC - you really need visual guidance. Don't read articles about how to improve reading. You improve by actually doing or watching someone else do.
Hi, For improving RC i would suggest you go through the archive of 'Thursdays with Ron' He has suggested some easy techniques which have helped me improve my RC accuracy
