There are questions eg: except questions, in which details of questions are scattered all over the passage;
Suppose one answer choice will be in first passage another one will be somewhere in middle of the passage.
Everytime going trough passage one by one and looking for specific details is tedious and time consuming.
even passage mapping will just give direction where to look for but not nitty-gritty details.
any advice how to tackle such kind of question?

Hey Nasheen,
Here's an article from our website about learning to read a little more efficiently when doing RC. To be honest, specific EXCEPT questions are inevitably the most time-consuming question type in RC. My recommendation is that you focus on doing them correctly, even if they are time-consuming. Make up time in other question types (SC, CR, and RC general questions). To do a tough EXCEPT question correctly, you really do have to spot all 4 wrong answers in the passage.
