This post is probably better suited for the RC forum. If you go to that forum, you'll find a lot of great tips.

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.

Cheers,
Brent
