Re: HOW to Improve your Reading Comprehension Skills

i got 260 wpm with 82%...
one needs to be at around >300 wpm... (ideal most humbly and respectfully would be ~450 wpm) bcoz reading comprehension passages in GMAT often range from 350-450 words.
And one shud not spend more than 1 to 1.5 mins in reading a passage.

My problem is tht by the time i come to Verbal section, i'm so much tired tht my mind starts wandering & i bovine mastication not concentrate on the reading comprehension.
Because when i try to do standalone RCs (on PC) i get it almost 90% correct with an avg of less than 2 min per Q.

I think apart form reading comprehension skills, we need to train our mind to concentrate during the 4hr gruelling session.

James, it most humbly and respectfully would b gud if u can share an article on "How to improve Concentration"
