Not sure if this question even make sense, but just wanted to check.

Which RC topic most frequently appears on the actual GMAT?

I noticed that I stump when I come across RC with topic related to History and Economics. Wanted to see the probability of getting similar RC topics on the exam.

Thanks,
C23678

Hi c23678,

You're going to see 4 RC passages on Test Day. You're likely to see 1 "Business" passage and 1 "Science" passage, but the other 2 can come from a variety of categories: Art, Humanities, History, Other Science, etc. As you do better and better in the Verbal section, you're more likely to see additional science passages, but the adaptive (and Random) nature of the Test can lead to "tough" passages from other categories.

The method for dealing with RC passages does NOT change though, so make sure that you've learned a practical approach for these prompts/questions.
