Question is in the title. I'm reviewing a PT and I just don't feel like I'm going over the RC section correctly. What methods do you guys use?

I can honestly say that RC is probably one of the more annoying sections to review. Here is what I do:

Go through each and every question (without rereading the passage) and ask yourself, "Do I know why this answer is right?"
If the answer is yes, then you better know why - So, if a stranger were to ask you "where did you find that in the passage?" you should be able to point to the exact line(s) where you got your answers, in the stimulus/passage. Same goes for the wrong answers - I believe this is 7Sage's method for LR, but as you can probably tell, it works just as well for RC.

You should also be able to explain to yourself why the incorrect answer choices are incorrect (ex: "C can't be the main point since the passage only uses what is stated in this answer choice as an example, and does not further expand on it.)

This pretty much covers it! You should also know why you chose the incorrect answer that you chose, and why it is wrong, so that you don't make the same reasoning error again.
