First, read the passage as if you’re following someone’s argument: what is the author saying, and what is the tone? After that, eliminate options instead of trying to find the correct one directly. With consistent practice and proper analysis of mistakes, your VARC accuracy will gradually improve.

To read and understand RC effectively, read for the author's structure rather than speed. As you finish each paragraph, identify why the author wrote it—are they introducing a claim, providing evidence, or qualifying an earlier counterargument? When eliminating options, disqualify choices that exaggerate the author's certainty, use absolute words (all, never, solely), or introduce outside assumptions.
