anybody have any tips on how i can improve my timing on RC? I’m hardly ever able to get through all 4 passages during a timed PT. i usually have 1-5 mins left when I get to the last passage :/
The key to a faster RC is literally just to be able to understand the passage better in a shorter amount of time. And the best way to do this ironically is to practice slowing down when drilling. Spend 4-5 mins in untimed drills before going to the questions, even if you finish in 3 mins force yourself to make low res summaries. The more you do this you'll find that your reading ability will actually get faster. Its like learning how to walk before learning how to run
This definitely will not help-- but its literally JUST practice. It's such a hard hump to get over, but the more you do it, the faster you will be. I personally find when I am ignoring the clock, I am usually fine with the time; I just focus on accuracy

I find reading books in my free time helps also convince yourself that you are interested in the passage
