    The biggest mistake beginners make is reading 'easy' stuff to boost speed. Stick to the hard stuff. If you can understand a boring philosophy essay, an RC on 'Business Ethics' will feel like a breeze

    160 WPM for an Aeon essay is actually decent. Those things are dense as lead. If you try to force speed too early, your accuracy in RCs will tank. Keep reading the speed comes naturally

    "I started at around 150 WPM last year. By the time the exam rolled around, I was consistently hitting 250+ with better accuracy. Don't stress the speed, focus on the 'why' behind the author's logic
