Why do you leave ? See that's the problem...there is no patience or focus at all and you expect to do them correctly. Read it slowly and take 25-30 mins or read multiple times until you understand it. And then answer the questions. Use option elimination and rule out the wrong answers instead of only choosing the right answer. Ask yourself that why this option is correct and why others are wrong. Make mistakes and analyze them properly and stop repeating them. There is no shortcut or trick in RC. It only gets better with heavy practice and analysis. Making mistakes and learning from them until there are no mistakes anymore.

Don’t force mapping if it’s making RCs more difficult start with just reading the passage properly and try to understand the main idea and author’s point u don’t need to remember every detail do 2 3 RCs daily analyse the wrong ones properly and see why u got them wrong it’ll take some time so don’t get demotivated if it’s not improving immediately and leaving is not an option

This was exactly the problem I was having last month... Foggy brain by 2nd rc... What I did was made ai agent for practice... Keep the question and comprehension difficulty level same as cat( dense) but start with one para for 7-10 days... 7-10 days 2 para RC.... 7-10 days 3 para RC... Then start with 4 that's actual cat level type... 45 days now I'm comfortable doing RCs now still have to work on option eleminaton... U can do same if that's what the problem is... Build familiraty with reading dense passages n questions on them
