  How are you doing on time with the RC section? A -8 to me means you're probably spending too little time on the passage and too much time answering the questions, and usually that means you don't have much time left at the end to review. The questions should go quite fast if you really understand the passage. If you have to spend more time on a question or you're really undecided between a couple answers, reread the passage. It is far more time effective to carefully read the passage than to constantly have to go back to it because the question confuses you. Most RC answers are obviously wrong at the barest glance so long as you understand what the passage is saying.

  @cwrussell42 You are so right about this. I did an RC passage this morning of level 5 difficulty and really took my time to understand the passage; I added internal dialogue after each paragraph and did a quick once-over with the low resolution trick (although mine may have been medium resolution lol) and then I only got one question wrong at the end. It's always hard to take things like this to heart during a PT, but practice makes perfect!
