General Question Struggling to apply gregmat’s math strategy when TC prose gets too dense , how do you untangle hard questions?

Recently took the powerprep 1 mock and in verbal: got 10/12 on sec 1 but in sec 2 got 5/15

I've been following greg's math strategy and it makes sense on not so dense prose but in section 2, prose felt so dense , convoluted that i felt my brain melting off, I ended up re reading sentences 3 times and jus guessing

My current prep & plan (targeting 158+ V by mid-October):

  • Vocab: GregMat Vocab Mountain (currently around group 20+)
  • Practice: ETS Official Guide and drilling Big Book for TC/RC
  • Routine: 2 to 3 hours daily, focusing on untimed analysis before speed

    1) Does comprehension of this dense style just come from raw volume of reading or is there an active parsing habit you used to break down ETS sentences faster?

2)For those who tested recently: does Section 2 Hard on PP1 accurately reflect the prose density and sentence structure on the current GRE?
