How to GAIN SPEED in tough CR...plz help

Hi All

I am soon(10 days) going to retake GMAT but still slow in CR.
I generally take around 3-3:15 mins to solve tough CRs.

The pain area for me is not the tricks or the logic or the concepts etc but I take a lot of time trying to understand the Stimulus(given passage).I tend to re-read and re-read the tough ones(700+). Once I understand the passage I can quickly prephrase the answer or select the right option.

I would appreciate if someone could suggest something.
