Hello..

I am taking GMAT(2nd attempt) next weekend and I am struggling with RC. I practiced a lot of RC questions and was confident till this day. Today I took GMATPrep exam 2 and scored 680.. with 34 in Verbal. I managed to get 23 correct out of 28 (SC and CR questions) and only 4 correct out of 13 questions in RC.. that affected my score a lot. Surprisingly I am doing reasonably better in RC with MGMAT practice tests, but when it comes to GMATPrep RC I am getting lot of them incorrect. Any suggestions on how to improve RC in the next 6 days? Any response much appreciated.

Thank you.

I wouldn't let the results of one practice test throw you off course. It sounds you were handling them before the test.

If you're interested, we created a series of free videos (at https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat- ... prehension) that cover all of the important strategies/tips for RC.

As mentioned in the RC videos, there is no one RC method that works for everyone So, I always encourage students to experiment until they find the strategy that works best for them.

For some quick tips, check out this thread by bblast: https://www.beatthegmat.com/ways-to-bbla ... 90808.html

Cheers,
Brent

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
