yeah gmatmachoman that's good. I am practising RC's through Kaplan. I think they have some tough and convoluded RC's, but my accuracy isn't that great.
I get only about 70-75% correct.
how about your hit rate ? Any particular strategy for RC?

I will post couple of more RC's from Kaplan.

Here is my simple strategy:

Read the passage "CONSCIOUSLY".After reading ask ur mind "Whether U have really understood the passage"

Step 2: Go through the question. Again ask ur mind Very Consciouly, Do U really understand what the QUESTION asks for?

Step 3: After confirming the above 2 stages, Go through the answers. Select the answer choice as per ur "CONSCIOUS UNDERSTANDING & COMPRENENSION".Crozz check is this the correct answer u wanted to select.For that U need to negate all the other 4 answers.So Again very religiously U need to NEGATE or UNQUALIFY the other wrong 4 options.

I feel if we all follow this simple strategy, 800 is for sure,becox in most we know the better half of the requirement,Just that we dont go that extra mile, be it hastiness r some X factor that pulls down our HIT RATE..

Hope I made a STRONG STRATEGY!!
