The mind-map-strategy for RCs
1.Skim through the first paragraph.Take your eyes off the screen.
2. Ask yourself the paragraph's "purpose" .Purpose is always very, very brief.Avoid paraphrasing the details.
3. Skim through the next paragraph.Take your eyes off.Ask yourself the paragraph's "purpose".Link the purpose of the first paragraph with that of the second.
4. Keep repeating Step 3 for all the subsequent paragraphs.
Approach for solving SCs:
1. Read the mother sentence.2. For underlined part, move to answer choices.3. Compare vertically to observe the difference in the choices.4. Eliminate 4 choices through vertical comparison while reading horizontally.5. Read the sentence end-to-end before marking an answer choice.
