Literally baffled by how well this has worked for me, especially the advice regarding reading the passage slowly and comprehending it as i progress. Took a 6 question test in RC right after this, applying every advice with the addition of POE (Process of Elimination), got a perfect 6 in about 8 minutes. Although they were medium difficulty questions, Iam gonna ride this wave to a 320+ GRE score. Highly appreciate what you are doing here, carefully dissecting each conspicuous problem and coming up with ingenuous solutions.
I’m a 9th grader and I watched this on the bus to school to take my Language Arts Final Exam. I am done with the exam now and I got 100 for the first time everrr,🎉🎉
And that's perfectly okay! We're all at different paces and end up in similar places. I'm turning 27 and have struggled my whole life academically because of reading comprehension that was never caught by my teachers.
Just gave my GRE and scored 156 in Verbal. Thanks to your RC and paragraph argument videos, I went from 148 in my first mock to 156 in the main exam! Thank you for explaining the concepts so well :)
I took your advice on being excited to read and taking my time, summarizing each sentence, and boy i tell ya, i took a practice test and got every answer from one passage correct. It made me feel so good. Thanks so much! Going to continue to approach it in that way.
I'm almost 27 and struggled to get my bachelors degree until this upcoming month because of reading comprehension issues. Thank you for this video. I've resonated with your tips from previous experience of learning how to cope and will take the new information and apply it to the remainder of the semester for my final exams.
@@TheTestedTutor bro i have an gre exam on march 3rd week......date hasn't finalized......i am scoring only 5 marks out of 40 in verbal........please help to score atleast 20 marks in verbal session......i will be waiting for your help
Thank You, You have helped me alot as a 6th grader and because we have a cold read and the highest grade in my class was a C and I wasn't there for it. So thank you.
Finally great advice, I always use to think about why people are advising on speed reading and skimming. Our main job is not to read the passage fast but to answer questions correctly on time.
I have never been great at reading comprehension. After watching this and applying these strategies, I am doing a lot better now. Thank you for this video!
Came back to this video, just to say how much this helped me. I used to struggle at RC and always used to chase time, but after this I went slow, took few days and now am much confident than before. Thanks for everything!
5:08 Thanks for that tip. I really needed it cuz i read so fast that i do forget just like you said most people do. amazing video btw even works to help students with the CLT, SAT, ACT, FAST/BEST and other state required exams for graduation here in florida.
Wow! Just worked for me magically! It takes me only a small portion of time I actually used to spend re-reading the passage. To add to that, answering questions is now significantly easier!!!!
Hey thank you so much for this technique. What I’ve noticed is what works best for you is what only you can decide. I tried this method and after doing a few passages I understood this technique works best for if the passage is small or a critical reasoning question because there are many subtleties hidden in such passages. And when I scan and read I get the medium and long passages correct. So I guess the best way to decide is to practice properly and see which one is comfortable. And the best part about learning two strategies is you always apply either one if one fails. So practice guys that’s the only way 💯
When I am watching this video, you already have 544 who subscribed to your channel. Congratulations! I am usually good at reading comprehension, so I agree with you about your strategy. Your suggestions reminds me of another great teacher's teacher on setting up for LSAT logic game. When you take the time to understand /setting up, it saves you time and effort trying to answer your questions correctly.
@@TheTestedTutor Wow, your video popped up on my feed 3 years later. Congratulations on having so many subscribers now! Right before I watched you again, I just watched a video on LSAT reading. I read the LSAT essay once with comfortable pace and answered all three questions correctly from memory. So again I do read like you when it comes to tests. But LSAT essays are much longer and more difficult, if I read them at my comfortable speed, I won't be able to finish them. I'm thinking of start reading more. What else could you suggest on improving my reading speed? BTW, I self studied GMAT for 3 weeks a few years ago and scored 97%, so I had no problem with GMAT reading comprehension.
i dont usually comment on youtube videos but man ! you just changed the game. I thank my lucky stars i found this video. RC was really hampering my verbal score. This video is the ray of hope i needed. Thank you so much
Wow!...your method is absolutely working for me. Before watching your video i could not answer the GMAT RC questions in a proper way. I used to read the passage and did not understand a word after reading it quickly. After learning from your video, there is drastic change. I read the passage in the ways you mentioned....IT WORKED!!!....thank you very much!!!...
WOW!!!!!!!! how am I only learning about this now?! im currently preparing for my English final and have found this extremely useful in my studies, thank you so much!!!
My mind is blown. How can something so elementary and innate have such abstruse results? I was getting ZERO correct answers and after watching the video, boom, all correct. It's amazing what the human brain can do when it's focused, and you Sir are a genius and one of the best tutors out there. Thank you for doing what you do. ❤️
Saw this video today , I was searching for something which can help me out to ace RCs in my exam (CLAT) it has more LSAT like composure . Spent good 20 minutes In understanding what you said . After that I attempted 10 RCs in a row and was perplexed to see how this worked out for me and time was also managed good . I took 32 minutes and I usually take this much or sometimes even more than that , but the thing which made me amazed was accuracy and I was able to grasp every thing which passage was trying to say . Thankyou very much , a good tutor , a good technique , follow religiously and you are gonna do good . "Slowest in room to read and fastest to answer "....🔥
This video never gets old for me. Am always getting back to it to boost myself before I do a reading passage. Still working on the same strategies for abstract passages. It's kinda hard for me to be interested in passages that revolve around very abstract jargon.
Enjoy Verbal and you are half there - 1. 'We learn from everything - wow! this is interesting' mindset. 2. Read calmly and carefully 3. Summarize sentences
Solid advice. I've gone through many of your videos and they have always enriched my preparation in significant leaps. Thanks for putting out your work.
Woo hoo! I score much higher in Verbal than on Quant in the GMAT, so I have not been spending so much time practicing verbal even though there are some more points I could score there. This is such a helpful perspective on absorbing information not just to take a test, but to be fully present and process all the lessons life has to give us. I practiced on two hard Reading Comprehension passages after watching this video, and got 5/6 correct-- and then understood why I got the one wrong (surprise: I rushed, even when I was trying to take my time!) Thanks for the really practical advice here.
This is great advice for the LSAT as well! The RC section is notoriously difficult to improve in. In my experience, your advice, these understated fundamentals, can really take you far. I tried various different methods to approach RC, and this method works by far the best for me.
Hey, I'm truly glad that I came across this video while preparing for GRE. The usual advice given by many other coaching institutes to skim through the passage, reading the questions first, never truly helps in improving the score! However, everything you said I believe was out of the experience, which is why it worked great for me too! I would get confused when a single passage contained controversial ideas in different paragraphs. However, by summarizing each and every passage, it became clearer to me! Thank you again for this wonderful video! Regards from India.
This approach does makes sense, tutors asking us to skim the passage and use it as a strategy doesn’t work initially, it develops through the process. Thank you for making this video:)
Sir, you have been sent by God to alleviate our difficulties of identifying nuances in the RCs. I have scored 319 once, 152 in Verbal but I found it very difficult to improve my score in verbal by 15-18 points since I need to score a perfect 340 to secure 100% scholarship at program of my interest. Your erudite knowledge and your goodwill to disseminate the same in mass at large is extraordinary, this is giving me practical ways to improve my score gradually thereby creating a chance to win the scholarship. In today's world people donot spend a single second for genuine welfare of the person besides him, while you have dedicated a lot of your time to engender the struggling student. This extra ordinary act should be adulated.
Wow! This was an amazing learning video! When I had attempted an RC before I was about to start the prep, I scored a low 1-2 correct out of 5-6 but as you were guiding through while reading the RC it felt waaayyyyyy more EASIER than what I was doing! If you'll drop a few more of these RCs for us it would be really helpful. Overall video :- 10/10 :D
I'm watching this at night the day before the HSPT, because I've always been much less proficient in reading comprehension than in any other subject. I will use these strategies tomorrows, and come back later when I get my score.
This helped me a lot,I paused the video in the middle to subscribe :) I was pretty nervous about the reading part,now I'm sure I'm gonna ace my exam. Thank you so much!
I just finished my ELA exam, and I watched this the night before. Surprisingly, I think I did very well, even though I usually tend to fail these kinds of tests. Your method was efficient and fast-paced, and I managed to finish right before the time was up without rushing. update: i nearly failed.. 66/100
I can't believe how much this video helped me. I was bombing my reading comprehension practice tests until this video. Right before I watched this I got 0/10 correct... After using the strategies that you teach in this video. I received a 10/10 on all 3 of my practice tests! Thank you so much for what you are doing here!
Great advice. It pays to always take the advise of experts, like those who score GRE 339 and 340, I subscribed to Gregmat channel as well. Great work man & keep up the good work.
Those who ask "Should I read the question first or the passage?". My advice is - read the passage first. Why? Because if you read the question you will be focusing on finding the answer within the package throughout your read. The problem with that is that you will not be focusing on the passage itself, just on finding that one specific answer. Your brain will be not be retaining all details from the package, just the details specific to that one question... Yes this may help you increase your chances of answering ONE question correctly, but in my opinion it is not a viable strategy to answer ALL questions.
Hi The technique in which you suggested, helped me to score 7/20 questions in RC. Even though it sounds less number of correct questions. I usually used to get 2 questions correct out of 20. It has improved my score. While comparing with my previous mark, it has made a huge difference scale. Highly appreciate what you are doing here and carefully dissecting each question. Thanks, brother 😍 Regards from India.
It amazes me how you tried to find ways to do well. And you did! Btw, your grammar seems great! Note: When you work hard, it is not expected to do extremely well, suddenly, but by GOD's grace there will be an improvement. Continue to strive and seek for excellency because the GOD of Abraham, Issac, and Israel rewards every man according to his deeds(Romans 2:6 "He will render to each one according to his works."). GOD bless!
I really liked the way you taught the lesson it was insightful, especially the tips on how to 1) Deal with the negative mindset of the reading. 2) And how to get through the reading comprehension understanding and gathering in chunks with out just skimming.
You have done your explanation so sincerely clear that sparked my brain to continue reading even though I am a slow reader. Thank you so much. From Canada with love and respect 🙏
"I must warn you that my advice might be different from you'd read elsewhere",... GOOD. Nothing I've read elsewhere works longterm, and not for all subjects.
I came across your video and I’m glad I found it. I have a really hard time reading. I am trying to join the police and the written exam is what worries me. I’ve never really been a fan of reading and the vocabulary words I’m. We pjs for that too. I appreciate your video and I have started to have a different look on reading to see if this will help me out.
I have enjoyed this video. I have always struggled with comprehension an I always thought as a child if you read fast it means you are a good reader. So thank you for saying reading slower will have you attain what you read.
I just want to say thank you; your videos help me get a decent score. Your reading comp strategy will help me tremendously in grad school for the mountain high list of readings I'll have to do in grad school.
I really appreciate this advise. There are some key character attributes to take away for myself. I need to approach reading with more excitement, be patient, calm, and engaged with the content. I've often assumed I understood something instead of summarizing between reading passages.. I really enjoy doing math a lot more and I can see that almost all these characteristics I lack(had lacked :)..) while reading English, I possess while doing Math. Reading Math questions and text, I automatically feel exited and engaged. I see the pictures forming in my mind, and I play with the ideas and discover.. I would say more but my wife is intruding now.. THANKS!
I learned in my late twenties that i struggle with this. I don’t like how it makes me feel and I know that I have to conquer it. I have to take two writing intensive courses and I’m kind of dreading it. I suck at writing and I don’t really care to read because I feel like I’m not comprehending anything that I’m looking at. I will try your approach and see how well I do. Thank you for amazing advice. 🙏🏽
This was a good view. I loved how you detailed reading slowly and answering quickly. Plus, your method does help. Engaging with the text helps you retain and recall more. Thank you.
That is great advise! Thank you so much! I am sharing your video with my daughter who has some brain damage from an accident and she needs a strategy to help her with a college entrance exam.
Yes one point I do agree non fiction books tend to be boring ,but you have a valid point to tackle the test ,hope I do get 330+ and surely will let you know

I’ve never really been a fan of reading and the vocabulary words I’m. We pjs for that too. I appreciate your video and I have started to have a different look on reading to see if this will help me out.
I have enjoyed this video. I have always struggled with comprehension an I always thought as a child if you read fast it means you are a good reader. So thank you for saying reading slower will have you attain what you read.
I just want to say thank you; your videos help me get a decent score. Your reading comp strategy will help me tremendously in grad school for the mountain high list of readings I'll have to do in grad school.
Your video is one of the most helpful that I have thus far encountered. Thank you very much. I am studying for the FL Teaching GK Exam (again).
You're very welcome!
Incredible video, using this to get advice for my reading comprehension exam and it has helped tremendously
I really appreciate this advise. There are some key character attributes to take away for myself. I need to approach reading with more excitement, be patient, calm, and engaged with the content. I've often assumed I understood something instead of summarizing between reading passages.. I really enjoy doing math a lot more and I can see that almost all these characteristics I lack(had lacked :)..) while reading English, I possess while doing Math. Reading Math questions and text, I automatically feel exited and engaged. I see the pictures forming in my mind, and I play with the ideas and discover.. I would say more but my wife is intruding now.. THANKS!
Tysm! I've watched this video twice and it's made me get better

Lots of love from India......
Thanks, man! I liked your style of doing the video - it felt quite candid and, yet, professional enough.
Watching this a week b4 my 12th boards in India!! 😁Thank you so much❤️
By far the most detailed, precise, relatable and legitimate video on GRE RCs. Wish I'd come across your channel earlier.
This really helped me to remember how I did well on the writing portion and reading portion of the ACT. Thanks!
I learned in my late twenties that i struggle with this. I don’t like how it makes me feel and I know that I have to conquer it. I have to take two writing intensive courses and I’m kind of dreading it. I suck at writing and I don’t really care to read because I feel like I’m not comprehending anything that I’m looking at. I will try your approach and see how well I do. Thank you for amazing advice. 🙏🏽
Just got this video from a friend! Amazing video!! I'm your newest subscriber, yay!!
