This post is probably better suited for the RC forum. If you go to that forum, you'll find a lot of great tips.sidharth1verma wrote:need a help in Rc,i am normal in verbal,i am not getting the Rc comfortably in ma mind when i am reading ,please suggest how i can improve myself in RC,i am able to shortlist upto 2/3 out of five choices,ma average score is varying b/w 30 to 40 % in RC
Here are my thoughts. . . . for many, the two biggest hurdles to a great RC score are:
1) not engaging 100% in the passage as they read
2) failing to separate the big points from the small points in the passage
For non-native English speakers, there's a third hurdle:
3) reading slowly
#3 is hard to fix in a short timeframe, however #1 and #2 can be dealt with through lots of practice.
