What is the purpose

I just did two timed sections, PT 31 and PT 38. I have been noticing that I tend to lose track of the overall purpose of the passage and fall into the pitfall of reading for content. So, these two timed sections I kept reminding myself to just think of the purpose of the passage and WHY the author would write this. I finished both sections in 33 minutes, felt comfortable with all of my answers except the ones that I missed, which were down to between 2 choices and honestly just made some dumb mistakes. I missed -1 on PT 31 and -3 on PT 38. Dave, I don't want to get ahead of myself, but I think I am finally getting RC after the ups and downs of studying it for 5 weeks. Internalizing this approach really keeps me focused on the structure of the passage and why the author would say certain things. I just want to get your honest input/feedback if this sounds like it might be a good approach to be taking as I continue to study for June. As I continually remind myself to read for for the purpose I seem to get better at understanding the MP of the passage. Wow, I love reading comp. and can't wait to hear some of your general insights/thoughts about how this sounds! :) I love you.
