Preparation Tips for the GMAT Reading Comprehensive Section

Give yourself 2.5 minutes for short passages, and 3.5 minutes for long passages. Every time you read a passage, set a timer for this time, so that you get used to it:


you will find that these times let you read at a relaxed pace that allows for thorough comprehension, while still affording a minute per question.


When you read, your job is to determine (a) the main idea of the passage, and (b) the topic/function of each individual paragraph.

Create, as it were, a “map” of the passage, from which you can locate details if the questions address them.

: where does the passage go into detail about that factoid, so if a detail question arises, you can go back to that place and re-read.

Your goal is to read the whole passage once, at a relaxed pace, and re-read only specific detail passages as necessary.

. When you read RC passages, take notes on scrap paper. Write down the main idea, in ten words or fewer (symbols & abbreviations that make sense to you are fine). Write down the topic of each paragraph, in ten words or fewer.

On the real GMAT, you will get a erasable packet and dry-erase pens: many folks find this is helpful for calculations on the Quantitative section, a


nd the principal use on the Verbal section is for taking notes on Reading Copmrehension questions.


Read a passage, taking notes. Then, without even looking at the questions, put that passage aside. The next day, with just your notes and without rereading the passage, try to answer the questions:

you probably won’t be able to answer detail questions, but if your notes are any good, main idea questions should be easy.

One suggested strategy is: before your read the passage, read the first question —- not the answer choices, good god! — but just the question. That way, you will have it on your radar.

. The Economist (Reading for the GMAT—The Economist) is, for a variety of reasons, probably the best weekly journal to read regularly.
