Verbal Time crunch

Expert replies

I am not able to complete the verbal section in 75 minutes. I am doing practice tests and I am getting hung over on the RC passages in the beginning and in the middle, which are causing me to skip the last RC. By that time I reach Q 34 or so when the last RC starts I am having 5 or 6 minutes left. I am clocking around 80% in SC, 60-65% in CR and RC is less than 50%.

I am sure the time issue has been encountered by atleast a good number of test takers here. What did you guys do? How to kill RC? Damn, I am reading and these passages are so intense that I easily lose track and need to read again. Am I trying to read faster and grasp more and screwing up? I probably am but Is there any way to improve RC?

What do you guys do for a RC Q for which you dont find an answer easily? Any specific POE for specific type of RC questions?

There are multiple approaches you could try:

a) You could take short notes when you read the passage. This may help bring concentration when you read and also give you better understanding. You need to be careful though with time when you do this. I have seen people take this approach with good practice.

b) You could skim through the passage and come back once you read your question. This may not work with all passages

c) You could allot a specific time to reading the passage and then move over to the questions.

You would be best judge as to the option that would work for you. What works for one may not work for the other. I would suggest you try these approaches during your practice and decide on the one that suits you.
