Default Reading Comprehension

Hi,

I am facing problem in Reading Comprehension passages(RC's).We usually have RC's with 1000 to 1200 words followed by 5 to 7 questions.I am finding it difficult to comprehend as well as in reading and scoring.What I usually do is, read the passage as fast as I can and then quickly run through questions and then refer to passage for answers.
I would be pleased if you can correct my approach or suggest me some ways to get good return of my time while I attemp RC's in exam.I will have 40 minutes for verbal section of which I can spare 25 min in RC's.


Thank you
Subbu
