Hello,

I have taken 16.22 mins to complete an practice RC question, long passage (5 paragraph) with 5 questions associated with it.
I understand that it is high. However, I wanted to know how much time I have to actually spend approximately for each question and how much to read the passage.

I request all you experts out there to please help me understand this :)

Thank you,
Regards,
Pooja

16+ minutes is far too long to spend on this.
In most cases, a long passage will have 4 questions associated with it.
We (at GMAT Prep Now) recommend that you spend about 3.5 minutes reading the passage (and summarizing key info such as paragraph theme, conflicting points of view, and main idea) and 4 minutes answering the 4 questions. So, we're looking at a total of 7.5 to 8 minutes to read the passage and answer 4 questions.

If you're interested, we have a free set of videos that cover all sorts of Reading Comprehension strategies: https://www.gmatprepnow.com/module/gmat- ... prehension

Cheers,
Brent
