Reading Comprehension! Have I finally tamed the beast? Let's wait and watch!

RC has been a dodging me since the time I began my GMAT prep. When I say dodging, I mean that it's been irritating the living daylights out of me (Imagine whatever profanity you'd like to, because I'll bet it fits!). The reason it got especially irritating is because there were times when I would read an especially long, moderately hard passage and get just 1 out of maybe 5 questions wrong. On another day, I would read a similar passage and get one question right! I initially thought it was merely an concentration issue and pressed on. When the matter got worse (that is it never changed even after many a passage), I decided it was time to find a remedy since the GMAT contains roughly 15 to 20 questions spread over 3 or 4 passages throughout the verbal section. This is a considerably large number of questions to not ponder strategy over.

And then one day (today), I found this awesome post on  the GMAT club. A user named Rhyme had posted it about 5 years ago in 2006. A few users have also asked some really insightful questions. From the initial read, it seems like this is my remedy, and Rhyme and co. my saviors. I'm going to give this thing a shot and see what comes off it. Wish me well! Until the next post...
