I know these seem fairly straight forward. But its my weakest question type. Any tips, or approaches?
I'm going to give some advice that might tantalize some people here, but scan for this type of question before you start the passage....
Okay, I know, it sounds dirty. It seems like something we should never do, but with this type of question how can it hurt? If I scan real fast, see it, I'll know what to make mental note of. This saves me from having to scan back through the passage later. It's a risk, because the question might not even be there, but there is also a reward. (saving time looking later is your reward.)
I personally think that if we had more time, reading the Q's first, would be the best way to do RC. So I've modified that a little, just to hit the questions that refer directly to the passage like this.

recognize what is stated Q type? I'm not sure if I've ever seen a Q type that says this?
e: unless you mean questions that ask you about details?
