How to Solve Reading Comprehension Questions?

The GMAT verbal section has 41 questions, and you’re allotted 75 minutes to answer them. You will get less than 2 minutes per question to answer. Do not spend too much time on reading comprehension otherwise you will have less time to answer sentence completion and critical reasoning.

You should follow the approach:

• Recognizing the type of question
• Quickly eliminating incorrect answer choices
• Knowing how to manage questions that ask for the answer that isn’t supported by the passage

One of the most effective ways of moving through reading comprehension questions is to eliminate incorrect answer choices. That’s because you’re looking for the best answer choice, not necessarily the perfect answer choice. Sometimes you’ll have to choose the best choice out of five pretty great choices, and other times you’ll choose from five really crummy ones. Because the definitive answer usually won’t pop right out at you, you have to know how to eliminate obviously wrong choices.
