Don’t just increase the number of RCs-analyze them properly. Start with easier, CAT-level RCs from one reliable source, focus on understanding the author’s argument and option elimination, and gradually move to harder passages. After every test, spend more time reviewing your wrong answers than solving new ones; that’s what will help you break out of the 15–20 range.

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.
