One thing that has helped me improve my VARC speed is **not reading every line of the RC with equal attention.** 👀 Read the passage quickly, focus on the important words, and try to understand the main idea of each paragraph.
Once you finish reading, go to the questions. You’ll often get an idea of which paragraph the question refers to, so you can go back to that specific part and find the answer instead of rereading the entire passage.
I’ve been following this approach for the last 2–3 months, and my RC accuracy has been pretty consistent, often 3/4 or even 4/4. It might help you too! Just make sure you understand the passage’s overall meaning rather than simply skimming it.
