Reading Comprehension
Short and long passages with inference, main idea, argument evaluation, and select-in-passage questions.
What you need to know
1Evaluate-the-argument items require identifying what would help ASSESS the argument — not weaken or strengthen
2Select-in-passage: click a sentence from the text — map to specific evidence, not theme
3GRE RC tests academic discipline reasoning (science, humanities, social science) — each has different argument structures
4Most missed: overly specific wrong answers that are true but too narrow for 'main idea'
Targeted practice improves scores by 5–10 points per section
