Any ideas on how to get quicker on Reading Comprehension? What techniques have you used that may be helpful for me?

When I read the Necessary assumption answer choices, I can only understand when the answer is wrong by negating it. How I understand why the answer is wrong without the negation, because, on the actual test I can't negate as it will take way to much time. Please if you have any suggestions, let me know :).
Hey Paul,
I for sure agree with you. The slower I read, the better I retain the information. Do you have specific techniques when marking the passage? I tend, when reading the passage, to write a lot of the info out, which can take a lot of time.

Read slower.
That might seem counterintuitive, but on RC people have a tendency to try to read the passage too fast to "save time." However, if you read the passage too fast then you won't retain any of it, and then you end up wasting time re-reading parts of the passage to answer specific questions. If you read slower, you can retain more and then won't have to keep going back, saving you a lot more time and frustration.
Reading slower helped me get from -6/-5 on RC to -0/-2.
