For starters, 30 minutes is okay. The goal right now is to improve your 'comprehension' ability, not speed.
You're right on track to read the passage first and then solve questions but a small tweak that may help:
- Read the passage quickly without trying to understand everything.
- Go para by para and just note down what that para is all about (not meaning, just what topics/sub-topics are mentioned)
- If a passage has 6 paras, you should have 6 lines noted representing what each para talks about
- Then read one question at a time and think which para it belongs to
- Go back to the para, find the answer, come back and mark it
- Do this with all the questions
That's how you get better at comprehending RCs. Hope it helps ❤️
