I've used to miss an average of 5/6 on RC, but now its closer to 2/3. I've been told it's helpful to avoid scrutinizing the details of the passage and instead focus on putting each paragraph in context of the whole. Does paragraph one present a problematic situation, paragraph 2 outline the history of the situation, while paragraph 3 proposes a solution? It used to sound counter-intuitive to me. Wouldn't understanding the minutiae of the passage mean I'd answer the questions faster? Maybe. But I didn't answer them more accurately. Working on low resolution summaries and timing also helps.
