在一个老外讨论GMAT的论坛里看到的,看看人家老外是怎么去练习RC的:
"You should focus on RC. I suggest reading several passages from OG11, OGV review, 1000RC or whatever you have available. I wouldn't focus on answering problems though.
The first day or two, just read the passages and take detailed notes.
For each paragraph: What is the general focus of the paragraph? What details are included in that paragraph? Why is that paragraph there (why was it included in the passage)? What is the author's tone in the passage? Are there any transition words (however, still, despite, etc.)?
For each passage: What was the main purpose for this passage? How do the paragraphs relate to one another? What is the overall tone? What are the major keywords?
You do not need to practice problems although you can if you want - the main idea is to get as much detail as you can from untimed conditions.
The next two days, read a few more passages and take notes, but do not take detailed notes. Do the same thing as above, but take only the most important points and make mental notes of everything else. What is most important depends on what you find hardest to remember. Say you have a hard time remembering the author's tone, but can easily remember the main point then you should write down author tone keywords.
The last few days, read even more passages, but do not take notes at all. Instead, focus on organizing your memories of the passage like you've organized your notes on the previous days. The point of the notes was to help you organize the info and hopefully after reading many passages you'll be able to do the same thing mentally. Since you won't be taking notes, you can cover more passages. An important point - as you read try to figure out what questions will be asked on the passage without even looking at the questions. On my RC passages now, I play a little game where I try to guess whether a particular sentence/phrase/topic will be asked about. Why is this important? It helps you gauge whether the things you think are important are in fact what the GMAT will ask for. If you're focusing on the wrong areas while reading and the questions are on completely different topics you will get wrong answers.
I found this to be really helpful for me - my hit rates during practice have been in the high 80s and 90s. On my CAT yesterday, my hit rate was 93%" 以上仅供参考.
