a. Go slow on rcs, especially in the start of each paragraph and at the end but, read everything.
b. Following one helps you to solve the questions quickly and save time to solve.
c. Read difficult articles, this will accustom your brain to read convulted rcs as reading another article. You can find them here-
https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-daily ... 23310.htmld. IT does not matter how many rcs you solve, knowing what silly mistakes did you make is crucial. Like in quants if we use a wrong formula we note it somewhere not forget it the next time. Similarly, do it for rc. For eg. For inference question, try to avoid option should with extreme words until and unless you see that the author is supporting it.
e. Know the question types: Main idea, primary purpose, central idea, inference, assumption, detail are a few of the types. When you read a question it takes hardly a second to distinguish. If it is a detailed question go back to the passage trace the line and answer. You can find more here-https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/gre-verbal-section-question-type-breakdown-30.html#p36
f. Summarize every passage irrespective of whether you see a main idea or a role question.
g. Do not get stuck on a question which you are unsure about- If you are not very sure between some option choice are not able to find your way out select any option choice move forward and save time this might help you to save time for those questions which you can surely answer.
These are the things that I follow. Although I am not a professional but these are the common points I found. You can create a your own strategy. One shoe doesn't fit all so try writing your mistakes in notes know its best use here-
