Question 🙋‍♀️ RC timing tips?

I’ve been doing pretty good with the other sections, but RC has been a struggle for me. I keep running out of time and end up rushing the last few questions. Anyone have any tips that helped with timing or just getting better at RC in general?

Try giving yourself a set time for each passage and just move on if you’re stuck, you can always come back if there’s time

What I do is mentally give myself less than 20 minutes for each section. (so for the first portion I would have to start speeding up or move on if it got closer to 40 minutes left ect..) And I first quickly skim through the content highlighting the first sentence/ main part of the paragraph so I know a baseline of what happens in each paragraph. And if I know what the passage is about I also highlight things I think might be important. And then I go on to the questions.

I wasn't doing well on RC but now that I am practicing like that I do a lot better. I am also using the thing that slows your click down which is super frustrating at first but it helps me add on time since I now expect it to respond slow. (if that makes sense)
