Don't you worry dear!!! A lot of us are pretty much sailing in the same boat. Read this
RC Strategies
A few insights from my end.
1) Don't hurry. Keep it completely out of your perspective to hurry up with the questions while you are practising. If your test is coming soon, I'd suggest postpone it, your verbal scores need tremendous improvement.
2) Read, learn to read, and when you are reading, comprehend continuously. Pay attention, attention to detail. You don't have to memorize but you should know exactly what each sentence and paragraph intend to portray.
3) Focus greater on SC and CR. Most strategies applicable for SC and CR are also applicable for RC. If your CR improves, am sure RC can follow closely.
4) Learn to stay alert and attentive, this is very very essential. Especially when you feel drained, and your brain asks for a time-out, that's when you should start reading more. Read news magazines, websites, opinions, blogs anything and everything on the internet. Just read.
I hope all that helps!!!! My SC and CR have improved considerably, at least I believe so and seem to me like my efforts have paid off in elevating my confidence so far. But RC still remains a challenge for me too. Currently, am working on the above strategies. If anyone else can suggest with anything more impacting, we'd all be grateful.

Hi Shalu, my post isn't probably going to help you, but I want to let you know that there's definitely hope.
I used to not be able to read critically. I scored poorly on reading comprehension related materials. After a tough time trying to understand myself as to why I can't read, a big problem arises - I wasn't taking anything in. Throughout high school, I read line by line, but not by taking things in. I pretended and acted as if I were reading, but surely enough, I wasn't. For my reading homework, I would read it but not take anything in...but it made me feel like I still did my homework (don't know if you know what I'm saying). Anyway, in college, I began to understand why I was never able to completely comprehend a reading...because I wasn't taking anything in. Once I figured out the problem, I tackled it head on. I started reading passages and ask myself everytime I finish a sentence - why did the author tell me this? This is extremely tedious (and boring), but it helped me understand the passage as a whole and helped me gauge in what the primary meaning behind each passage means. This worked for me and I can see that as an improvement as I prep for GMAT reading section. If this sounds like your problem as well, maybe it's best to push back your test and really practice on reading. Or if you feel like you can improve a substantial amount of score on SC and CR, perhaps you'll be alright.
I'm not sure if this helps you at all, but this is my own personal experience and nightmare. It definitely took time to fix th eproblem, but in the end, it worked for me.

Yes, Even I have the same problem. I read the passage like a news paper, accepting all the facts given without questioning "why".Reading the passage critically is the key, and trying to do this in 2-3 mins is a challenge
