Hi,
I am doing fine in Quant as well as SC, and improving in CR, but RC is a different beast altogether.
I seem to take a lot of times for reading the passage (around 4-5 mins) and if I read the passage any quicker, I get plenty of questions wrong.
When I practice a RC passage with 6-8 questions, I do fine as I take 5 mins for reading the passage and on an average an additional minute per question. Now the problem is that in GMAT there wouldn't be a passage with 6-8 questions, but with 3-4 questions. That means I have to read the passage and answer the questions in 6-8 mins, which I can't seem to do.
Any idea how to improve R&C skills?
Thanks!
