Clarification in RC's

Expert replies

All,

For improving RC, Many people here suggest that reading economist or any similar site would improve our accuracy in RC section. Most of the times in actual GMAT, we are faced with passages with very vague topics and ideas which is quite difficult to understand. But in sites like economist, we face articles mainly about the current economy, or scientific research or some kind of socialized articles.

Honestly speaking, i'm able to comprehend almost all articles in these sites better. I'm not a kind of guy who could just read first and last paras, just skim through/skip the body paragraphs and go directly to the questions. I can only answer the questions only if i understand the crux of the passage better. I feel that i definitely struggle with vague topics that are mostly being tested in actual GMAT but i dont struggle in economy/scientific research kind of topics. How do i improve on doing better with vague topics?? I keep asking this qn to myself every time i practice RC's..

Looking forward to your opinions!

Truthfully, the RC section mastery is more about technique than understanding the material. I am sure in your preparation you already know the tricks--many of which you discuss in your question, such as making notes, not skimming, looking for key transitional words or relational phrases which link information and ideas. At the end of the day, it is actually a pretty good test of your ability to handle b-school academics, as you will be assigned a large volume of reading in short time periods. Good news is, if you track with the Economist, you will likely track better with b-school. As for getting through the GMAT RC, it's no fun, but practice tests will help and wheteher it feels like it or not, by doing them you are getting incrementally better. Good luck.
