While most of the people consider it to be the toughest sub-sections out of all, it actually requires the right GMAT reading comprehension strategy to be tackled. The GMAT Verbal section has three components &#8211; Reading Comprehension, Sentence Correction &amp; Critical Reasoning out of which the GMAT reading comprehension is the most time consuming. Hence, building a GMAT Reading Comprehension strategy becomes crucial.<\/p>\n<p>The GMAT Verbal Section consists a fixed number of 36 questions in total. There will be roughly 3-4 GMAT RC passages out of those, and each one will have 3-4 multiple-choice type questions. Thus, there will be 9\u201316 questions of GMAT reading comprehension.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GMAT_Reading_Comprehension_Strategy_Importance_of_Building_a_Reading_Habit\"><\/span><strong>GMAT Reading Comprehension Strategy | Importance of Building a Reading Habit<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14848\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bibliotheque_de_lAssemblee_Nationale_Lunon-1-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"GMAT reading comprehension strateg - reading habit\" width=\"705\" height=\"470\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bibliotheque_de_lAssemblee_Nationale_Lunon-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bibliotheque_de_lAssemblee_Nationale_Lunon-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bibliotheque_de_lAssemblee_Nationale_Lunon-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bibliotheque_de_lAssemblee_Nationale_Lunon-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bibliotheque_de_lAssemblee_Nationale_Lunon-1-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bibliotheque_de_lAssemblee_Nationale_Lunon-1-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bibliotheque_de_lAssemblee_Nationale_Lunon-1-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Bibliotheque_de_lAssemblee_Nationale_Lunon-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 705px) 100vw, 705px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To ace the GMAT RC section, you need to develop a reading habit. Habitual reading helps you gain focus, comprehend and improve your vocabulary. Reading is the best GMAT reading comprehension strategy. Subscribe to an editorial, or newspaper; read blogs, online essays, short stories, anything you can find. Go for different genres as the GMAT RC passages are also related to different genres, such as, History, Science &amp; Technology, Economics, Philosophy, Literature, etc. Reading also helps with increasing your knowledge in certain domains.<\/p>\n<p>Get the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/gmat\">GMAT Online Coaching<\/a><span data-sheets-root=\"1\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;GMAT Focus Edition&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:11257,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;6&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0}},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;7&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0}},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;8&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0}},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;9&quot;:0,&quot;10&quot;:2,&quot;11&quot;:0,&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0},&quot;16&quot;:11}\">\u00a0by<\/span><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;gmat online coaching&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:8380,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0}},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;6&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0}},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;7&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0}},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;8&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:[{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;5&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:0}},{&quot;1&quot;:0,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;3&quot;:3},{&quot;1&quot;:1,&quot;2&quot;:0,&quot;4&quot;:1}]},&quot;10&quot;:2,&quot;16&quot;:10}\">\u00a0iQuanta<\/span><\/p>\n<p>A regular reading habit increases your focus by several folds.

Read the Passage Carefully<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The first and foremeost step while tackling a GMAT RC passage is to read it very carefully. Very often, some people first go through the questions and then read the passage. However, this strategy to tackle the GMAT RC is not recommended. This is because, reading the passage after going through the questions will create a bias in your mind which will make you go and look after the answer. While doing so, you might miss an important point or keyword. Hence, the right GMAT reading comprehension strategy is to read the passage first and then read the questions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Comprehend_As_You_Read\"><\/span><strong>2. Comprehend As You Read<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You do not have a lot of time in hand. So, make sure that whenever you practice the GMAT RC passages, you keep summarising and comprehending the passage in your mind. Reading an entire passage takes up a lot of time. So, as you only have a limited time frame in the exam, you cannot afford to go back and re-read the entire passage to answer each of the questions. So keep the passages and location of the keywords in your mind in such a way that one glance at the passage can get you the answer.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Start_Connecting_the_Sentences\"><\/span><strong>3.

This GMAT RC strategy is essential to answering questions about inference and detail accurately since they both explicitly and implicitly relate to the material in the passage. Correct inferences require a thorough comprehension of the relationships between sentences.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Summarise_Passages_While_Practising\"><\/span><strong>4.

First of all, find out the options that are vague and eliminate them. After this, if you are left with 2-3 options you&#8217;re confused between, go through the part of the passage concerned with the question again, carefully and you&#8217;ll fing the rigt answer.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>iQuanta&#8217;s GMAT Course Details<\/strong>.

You must develop an interest in world affairs and literature. Following are 5 important things to take care of while reading a GMAT RC passage. This is a very important part of your GMAT reading comprehension strategy.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Know the structure:<\/strong> Most of the GMAT reading comprehension passages follow a set structure. There is an introduction, a body and a conclusion. Look for sentences that change the English passage&#8217;s topic. Mark them as important. Highlight the essence of each topic, what they are talking about.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Look out for potential keywords:<\/strong> Each passage must have certain keywords around which the central idea that you must include in your GMAT reading comprehension strategy. Mark such keywords in your GMAT exam and move ahead with your reading. They will help you in answering the questions that will follow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try prediction:<\/strong> You can also <em>try to predict what the author might say in the next paragraph <\/em>as you&#8217;re reading. This will reinforce your understanding of the passage.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Central idea:<\/strong> Always focus on the main idea of the GMAT RC. Do not focus much on the minor details of the paragraph. As the passages are full of fillers, ignoring them while reading would save you a lot of time in the end.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analyse the style and tone of the RC: <\/strong>The style related question, will probe the applicant about the author&#8217;s diction, tone, and word choice in the text they are reading. The candidate&#8217;s ability to accurately determine the author&#8217;s choice of words and overall tone to determine the mood and thinking process behind the RC will be tested by this style question. The candidate&#8217;s capacity to recognise and evaluate the attitude, motivation, viewpoint, etc. behind the paragraph is most crucial part of the GMAT reading comprehension strategy because the author won&#8217;t clearly indicate these things.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Build a good enough vocabulary:<\/strong> By reading enough comprehension passages and memorising the meaning of difficult words, you will easily answer the GMAT RC passages. You can start by learning about root words, as they will help you identify the meaning of the unknown words, then gradually move on towards antonyms and synonyms of complex\/common words.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GMAT_Reading_Comprehension_Strategy_4_Mistakes_To_Avoid\"><\/span><strong>GMAT Reading Comprehension Strategy: 4 Mistakes To Avoid<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Do_Not_Jump_Through_Sections\"><\/span><strong>1.

Questions asking about the style, tone, main idea, etc. of the passage are very direct and do not need any simplification. But other inference based and application based questions require simplification as they consist of several words entwined together that may create a confusion in understanding them. Apart from this, carefully going through the answer options is also important.<\/p>\n<p>Through this article, we have explained the GMAT RC strategy one should opt for.
