Skipping around in RC

  I only recently started skipping in RC. I'm still not great at seeing an RC question and being able to tell that it's a timeskink. typically if I start searching for something and don't really know where to look, I skip. However, I think it's also valuable to know what a difficult question looks like. My method is fine for questions that are difficult because you overlooked something. But there are RC questions that are inherently difficult and I still haven't figured out how to sense that.

  It depends. If it's something like an 'explicitly stated except' or 'infer/agree' question or analogy where a quick, shallow run through the AC doesn't make one or two stick out, then I skip and come back at the end of the passage. That's my own strategy because, through drilling, I know those can be time sinks and that's the best way I can efficiently use my time. If, after two run throughs of the question, I'm not able to eliminate much I come back after doing the other passage. Especially if it's the last or second last question of the passage, I've noticed that's generally where the really difficult inference questions are.
