Hi guys,
It seems that my score is bleeding out because of RC and it's actually pretty hard. It is a lot of detail that needs to be memorized till all questions are done and one word can ruin it. Even some passages are so complex that are draining me. Anyone have any tips to score higher on RC? My analytics also shows critque debate are the worse ones right now.

just practice more
honestly same here. maybe try doing the harder passage first in a section. usually the hard passages are passages 4, sometimes passage 2 in a section. some people also just tackle the passage with most number of questions first.
maybe then you wont feel too fatigued when its time for complex passage?
if you're the type of test taker that spends more time reading the passage then really, you only have 30s or less per question.
if you're not that type and is okay skimming through the passage and covering it in under 3 minutes, then you get more time.
at this point, i'd suggest finding out what your preferred way of test taking the RC section is!
I'd suggest slowing down to speed up, depending on how long you spend reading the passage, take some more time reading it and really try to break down in your mind where it's going. The better you can understand the passage usually the more prepared you can be for the questions.
When mention "draining", how long into the session that you start to feel that way? Is that the 3rd and 4th passage? What you experience is probably brain fatique. Then you should do a marathon, which mean doing a drill with 5 or 6 passage in the row and don't check your accuracy and don't take a break in the middle. This drill will train your brain for endurance. You can work on accuracy separately. Try that drill once a day for a week to see if you feel less brain fatique. Also, you don't need to memorize all information, you need to know where the information located and come back to review it when you do the question.
Looks like there is a live class covering RC today in a little under 3 hours if you can make it
