  One of the best tips that I've heard for RC is pretend you're interested in the passage even if you aren't. It's definitely not easy to do, especially when you get to the end of a section, but it does help with retaining information.

  I have a huge problem with focus and i agree that it helps to pretend you're interested - like literally in your head go "hmmm, wow interesting!" it sounds silly but it helps to feign interest. And then I also like to in my head quickly summarize little chunks that are really dense. it's tough to do when you have so little time to read a passage but i think it's worth taking two or three seconds to have that internal dialogue.
