No matter how long i read and study the reading comp (RC), i just cant score better than 50% on this section. I actively read the paragraphs, but the subject matter in this section is often so bizarre that its hard to follow. I need so advice to that i can break down the paragraphs quick and identify the correct answers better.

Often times, RC doesn't mean that you read the entire article. Rather, it means that you pay attention to the nuances of the paragraph and read the questions to look for too narrow and too broad of answer choices. For example, if an answer choice states that "every" "must" "shall" are usually incorrect. Along the same lines, "sometimes" is usually incorrect.

Read one paragraph and write what the main point of the paragraph is. You should also be able to anticipate the next paragraph based on the previous paragraph. Practice with short paragraphs and one you master understanding short paragraphs, work up to longer paragraphs, and then entire passages. Thats teh best way to excel at reading comprehension. Practice is small, and work your way up to larger ones.

Many RC question ask for the same type of answers: (1) what was the main idea (2) What is the relationship between the evidence and conclusion in each paragraph (3) identify a claim of certainty.

Just be aware that in RC aware that the incorrect answers usually deal with the following:

-extreme statements not supported by evidence (correct answers tend to use more reasonable and moderate terms)

-irrelevant info outside the scope of discussion

-minor changes to info supported by the passage

-false attributions of individuals' points of view

If you know what the questions are and you can identity the above within the passage, then you can improve your score in RC as this is 50% of RC. Mast that and then the rest will fall in place.

i appreciate everyones suggestions. I guess what it really comes down to is that i need time serious time on the RC. I just need to focus on that section and hopefully it improves my LR score.

In case you have extra time, check out the videos on youtube on how to improve your reading comprehension.
