Begin by reading the first and last paragraph plus the opening sentence of each middle paragraph. This “skeleton read” usually reveals purpose and scope. Then tackle questions that reference specific lines before global inference items.
Watch for qualifiers such as may, unlikely, or primarily—examiners often hide difficulty in subtle wording. Eliminate options that introduce ideas absent from the passage or contradict explicit statements.
Practice daily with one passage timed, even if your exam is months away. Speed and accuracy in RC improve most from regular short sessions rather than occasional long marathons.
