wtf no consistency I've gone back and know why I missed what I missed but that doesn't really help in studying is there really anyway to study for this

[dontdoitkid]

What prep have you done so far?

Are these your last four in a long series of RC, or are you just getting into t?

Been studying for 2 months also this is a retake last time I missed like 9 on all the other sections combined and 12 on RC I've used trainer and manhattan rc

Try this:

Do not circle, box, underline, notate, or anything like that. Perhaps write a short summary in a couple words for each paragraph, but other than that, don't bother with notations. I started doing that and I was able to read through the passages quicker, retain more information, and have more time to dig through the passage when I needed something detail-oriented. Make sure you COMPREHEND everything you read. If you don't, go back and read it again. Stop after every paragraph and digest what you just read and understand how it fits into the big picture. Seriously, when I stopped worrying about taking a bunch of notations on the passage, my reading comprehension went up.

I annotate, but only after I taught myself what to look for, and I use it minimally.

Hugely important that you really understand each paragraph, and how the paragraphs relate to each other. Take an "active reading" approach with your thoughts while you work through the passage.

The difficulty of the passages may have fluctuated. General rule of thumb I use: difficult games--> easy RC.

Thanks for the advise, I'll try these strategies today. Hopefully it helps
