Hi All,
I need help with RC in GMAT. My problem is with long passages of RC, usually passage with 3-4 paragraphs, it takes me long time to read it and then I completely get lost and then most of my answers are wrong. same with detail questions as well.
Also, it makes me so exhausted to read the passage and makes me click on any answer choice as soon as possible, just like "oh man, when will I get rid of this passage?". And at the result most of my answers are wrong.
So can anyone help me to deal with it?? How do I get most from the passage and answer questions correctly??
How to deal with RC and get most of it?

Hi Gayu,
It sounds like you don't have an RC strategy. I suggest a 3-handed approach:
1. Break down the passage, taking notes as you read.
2. Rephrase the question in simpler terms.
3. Write down a prediction, then eliminate.
You can see an example of how I model this approach in the RC99 link that Target2009 provided. I also recommend you read these articles:
