Reading Comprehension Intensive

150 RC.PNG

The Reading Comprehension section tests both your understanding of the content and the structure of selected writings on four subjects. 

​

Through vigorous practice and refinement in tackling the RC section both as a student and a tutor, I have developed Reading Comprehension strategies that have helped hundreds of students improve their RC skills. 

​

In the Reading Comprehensive Intensive, I will teach you how to master each passage and question type with consistent accuracy and high speed. 

​

We will cover all Passage Types:

  • Social Sciences, Humanities

  • Natural Sciences

  • Law

  • Comparative Passages

​

General passages include one long passage with 5-8 questions on the meaning, tone, structure, and logic of the text. 

​

Common questions include:

  • Which one of the following most accurately expresses the main point of the passage?

  • It can be inferred from the passage that the author would be most likely to believe which one of the following?

  • In the context of the passage, the author’s primary purpose in mentioning lines [xx-xx] is?

  • ​Which one of the following most accurately describes the relationship between the second paragraph and the final paragraph?

  • The author's attitude toward [xx] is? 

​

Comparative passages include two short passages with 5-8 questions on the content and relationship of the two passages.

​

Common questions include:

  • Both passages were written primarily in order to answer which one of the following questions?

  • It can be inferred that which one of the following the authors of the two passages would be most likely to agree/disagree over?

  • Which one of the following most accurately characterizes a relationship between the two passages?

  • Which one of the following principles underlies the arguments in both passages?

  • Each of the two passages mentions?
