@phi Thank you!! That’s super helpful! I do sometimes take the full four sections haha but not as often as I probably should. Thanks so much!

@KenickieHenderson Thank you!! Thats helpful! I've been struggling with conditional reasoning and quant/diagram the most.

I'm not sure if this will be helpful for you, but with RC for myself, I often skim the passages first. I don't read it word for word when I'm doing a skim, then I move onto the questions. Like for what a certain word is used for, or what purpose a sentence serves, you don't need to read the entire thing to get an idea of what the word "hypothesis" is being used for. It's dependent on the surrounding sentences most of the time, not the surrounding paragraphs.

Then, if I'm still struggling on an answer, or it needs something broader, like the summary, I'll read it a bit more thoroughly. However, a lot of questions, at least when we're going for timing, don't need for you to read the entire passage! This is why the search function is so awesome. If you're doing a comparative passage, and it's asking you what was mentioned in both passages, just use the search function. It should cut down a lot of your time if you're not using it.

I still love & use the highlight feature, but I don't have a method for it necessarily. I just highlight what stands out to me.

Some people recommend reading it and trying not to go back to the passage while doing the questions. That definitely works for some people, but it doesn't really work for me. Everyone is different for sure, but this is what works for me and my RC accuracy has gone from -10 to -3. :)
