Any tips on how to fix an issue where I feel like I understand the RC when i read it but when it comes to answering question, I sometimes end up fumbling even the most basic of the questions.
At times it may feel like im doing very good with RC while at other times its the exact opposite and this inconsistency is becoming kind of demotivating.

Any tips on how to fix an issue where I feel like I understand the RC when i read it but when it comes to answering question, I sometimes end up fumbling even the most basic of the questions.
At times it may feel like im doing very good with RC while at other times its the exact opposite and this inconsistency is becoming kind of demotivating.

don't worry about inconsistency- it's normal. after every RC. analyse why you get each wrong question, did you understand the question, fall for a tempting option in between 2 option, or fail to understand the RC itself.

for the next 20-25 RCs, focus more on option elimination and evidence from the passage than on getting a high score. your accuracy will become more consistent with practice.

thank you so much for clearing out the doubt sir, also ive recently realized this issue with hard rcs that i may understand the rc itself but struggle with understanding the options for a given question relative to the passage, which kind of causes me to take more than expected time for that question
