Hi Stacey/Ron,
Firstly thank you Stacey, i have read all your guided articles to begin with my preparation and following the timed approach. I can see an improvement over my previous performances.
Today i have a specific question regarding RC. I have read Stacey's RC notes to begin with and have been doing the OG 12th edition RC. I need some direction to pace myself up.
My observations on my RC Performance are as below:
---------------------------------------------------
1. As i start reading a small passage (200 words) i am taking approximately 30-40 sec more than the expected 2 mins.
The same holds good when i am doing the Longer ones with 400 words. I end up taking additional 30-40 secs.
From the articles mentioned what i have seen is that i just need to skim through the paragraphs reading superficially, meaning not getting to the detail but making sure to read the main points.
What i have realized is that this time lapse might be because i am reading through few lines and not skimming through.
My Query:
----------
1.) Could you please help me create one direction as to how to improve on timing.(does it just come by practice?)
2.) Also after we skim through and do the "Know where" and form a basic idea about the passage, on each question what is the permissible time to be spent.
3.) I have seen Ron's video on RC. Please provide me some tips on how to distinguish the details i need to say is important and mark some things as "blah blah".
Are there any key words etc.; some blind method that could become a behavior up on practice?
4.) Can a doubtful OG 12th edition RC problem be posted for discussion?
Should you require any further details please let me know.
TIA, Awaiting your reply :)
Warm Regards,
MS
