Hi

It happens. But let me tell you that it is going to be better.

What were your previous score?
Which part of verbal kills you?
What is your background?
What were the materials you have been reading?

For one, make sure you are reading all passages carefully, not just skimming for the correct answer. Some answer choices are specifically constructed to attract people who skim.

I worked with a student who got a big jump in his RC accuracy by first reading the first and last sentence of each paragraph, then reading the passage carefully. Try that and see if it helps!
