After going home, completing the practicing session for DS in office, I started with RC. I attempted few questions from OG12. I tried my luck and brain in the first two passages. The first passage had 3 questions and the next passage had 5 question. My observation is that I take more time in RC than in any other section.
I have also read the RC strategy. But to get the strategy absorbed in my mind will take some time. For the first passage, my accuracy was 2 out of 3 which is around 66.6%. But I am pleasantly surprised to see that my accuracy in the second passage is 100%. I have emerged as more confident about RC after this performance. The area of improvement is to reduce the time which I take to solve these questions in RC. I will come up with a strategy to reduce the time, so that my time is evenly distributexd in the actual GMAT test.
Another mantra to succeed in the RC is to read, read and read. Read anything and everything that comes your way. I will be following this mantra. Yesterday I stumbled upon a website on swaminomics. I will be reading that regulary to make myself comfortable about the business jargons and financial world. This will be fun.

Hi Amar,
ReplyDeleteIt was nice reading your blog. I, too, face problems in RC with speed and accuracy. Can you share your strategies, if any, for having a better RC. For vocabulary, you could also subscribe to dictionary.com (A word a day). They send a word a day to your inbox. I find it useful. My email id is anekant.jain@gmail.com. Please mail me with any suggestions. Thanks.
