MY Methodology --- R.C.

[sham12345]

I may sound crazy. But this is my Method. This may have many loopholes. Just consider this as my own thoughts and it has lot of fallacies.


1. When you read a Sentence, a complete sentence. Emphasize on the
TWO important Nouns and the Tone associated with it.
Tone- means, qualifiers, complements, or the important verbs.
qualifiers i mean, how the author has linked like important,
major, something like that.

2. Its something like the Two Pillars or Twin buildings. and some sort or association for them. If its Good one, like an Arch. If its a bad one, like a burial connection. If not Crest fro good one or Trough for the bad one.


3. Each sentence are like that. 2 towers and the association, just a word.
Yes, the RCs are like that. loosely held thoughts with authors view.

4. Complete the whole paragraph. Complete the whole passages .

you can see that, so many twin towers and the way the the author connected it.

It is just reading method. Which may be Active reading.

If you are happy with the reading, we can answer with confidence right. I would deal with questions later. But reading like this may help for a better understanding.


does this make any sense. I will exemplify with more examples.


This is just my reading method. It may be nonsensical to others, who argue that there are more than 2 nouns.Yes there would be but in fact you should take which you feel as important.


Any suggestions/ comments/ critics are welcome.

please note that : i had something i had taken from the MLIC Module V section. Yes its the Toning part. and From some philosophy book. I made some weird connection. thought it may solve my problem

I agree with #1 and #4.

My problem is ... I always narrow the choices into two options, then I have to choose one of them and guess what, after all my deep thoughts I end up choosing the wrong one ... this is a curse

Luma..

i said about the Reading method. Not the answers mode.

Answers mode. yes . i will deal with second section. ..

any improvements on the reading comprehension READING method ?

Luma,
I have the exact problem. And, yet, after studying the answer sheet I cannot figure out why mine is wrong.

[sham12345]

elnaz.

can u comment on my method.

You tell us, does this method work with you?
I think, under the pressure, and limited time, people tend to forget all what they learned and they just follow their senses/commonsense.

@Elnaz_b
many times we can't know why we ended up choosing the best wrong answer because simply we are non-native speakers, there are many idiomatic terms we are not aware of ... Nevertheless, do your best and rely on the overall profile.

Sham,
It is very good you are trying to work out your problems on RCs-our problems too. However, I think reading comprehension is not about nouns, adjectives,sentences, or even paragraphs. It is not about methodology, rather, how you easily and confidently approach it; how smoothly you can read and assimilate the details and author's intention. Consider when you read something in your native language, you are comfortable; you readily get what the author is saying. reading comprehension is a skill more than anything else. You only can nail it if you have read and read for years so that you are familiar, comfortable and the piece is under control.
The problem arises when we want to achieve a long-term experience in a few months, preparing for GRE. But GRE is actually devised for native speakers, not us. Although, this sounds disappointing, but, still, a fact is a fact, whether we like it or not.
Still, the more you read, the better you perform on your test. There is no other way than practicing.
To come short, methodology is for approaching a mathematics or physics problem not a piece of reading.

@ elnaz

I can see that. You dont like my way of dealing it. No problem.

I am not able to get better ideas than this. To solve Rcs.

yes . Golden rule is Practice and Practice.


One thing i can see is that-- its a takine more time than normally it does for me. Its a slow process of active reading.

Rightly said, @ LUMA. Short time and this way of reading may hamper the time.

I think this one is, One of my Trash IDEAS. sorry to offend any one here with my random thoughts.

[sham12345]

time saving.

yes.

Ideal is.

To read once the reading comprehension. and not to refer back,when the questions asks about explicit questions.

even then i say its referring back to reading comprehension is second time. At this time we should take very very less time and not to read the whole passage again to pin point. This should be the key, for the Short duration time.

How would you do that ? To pinpoint exactly the sentence we want from to look for the questions that is asked in the reading comprehension ?

you should identify the phrase. Exactly.

Phrase -- how can we spot with no time ? with reading once ? is the questions i have in my head.

i was testing this method.

I got about- 3 out of 4 right. for a 35 sentences one. in about 11:45 minutes.

i will see for others. too
