Yes, it’s definitely possible to improve GRE RC without reading newspapers or academic articles every day. What matters more is working directly with GRE-style content and reviewing it strategically.
RC practice should come from official ETS material, Manhattan sets, or Big Book passages. Solving 2–3 passages daily under a timer builds familiarity, but reviewing why each option is right or wrong matters even more. Labeling each paragraph with its function—like intro, argument, or example—helps build passage structure awareness.
Watching 5–10 minute video explanations of tough RC questions can also speed up learning. Hearing how expert readers eliminate options or find tone clues trains the brain to follow the same logic. With focused practice like this, accuracy improves even without daily reading from external sources.
