GMAT Reading Comprehension does not require you to comprehend every sentence.
You won’t score the perfect score if:
• You overhear what you read in your mind
• You go back to the passages unnecessarily
• You are too distracted to capture the author’s intention
• You keep staring at the timer
• You think beyond the scope of the text
• You overanalyze the author’s argument

"Although reading the daily news was easy for me, GMAT was the first time, I had to learn to grasp the passage in under two minutes. I took reading skills for granted and soon realized that GMAT Reading Comprehension was not easy. While researching about shortcut techniques, I reached F1GMAT's article on note taking. I liked what the author was recommending. The RC Guide was the next step. F1GMAT's Essential GMAT RC guide taught me to read passages faster and prepare notes by eliminating all distractions. The one paragraph at a time and a heightened awareness about out of scope answer choices demonstrated in the book changed my outlook towards RC questions. " - Verified Purchase
"Hands down the best GMAT RC book. I studied with Official GMAT Guide and F1GMAT's Essential GMAT RC and in just 5 weeks, began scoring pretty well in the mock tests. I topped my previous score by around 10 points. Some tips to use the book: Read the book in one sitting, next read in groups of 2 chapters and take tests only for the topics in the chapters. Repeat this 2-chapter strategy for all the topics and your scores will improve." - Verified Purchase
"Helped me dominate GMAT Reading Comprehension. RC was certainly not the most interesting part of GMAT. I enjoyed Critical Reasoning and saw RC as a necessary evil. What started as an accidental exploration on alternative GMAT prep books, took me to F1GMAT when I seriously began my preparation. There aren't many true great RC guides. The official guide is alright. But, F1GMAT's book helped me separate arguments, facts and opinions - a mindset that would take some getting used to. Note taking helped, but more specifically, reading with the goal of finding gaps in the author's argument improved my comprehension. There are hundreds of such tips in the guide. The strategies are unique and easy to apply." - Verified Purchase
