5 Tips to ace CAT 2024 VARC in 60 Days

• Broad: Mention generic terms/generalize the subject.

• Alien: Introducing something new altogether.

• Extreme: Words such as will, should, and must that are not suggested by the author. 
• Narrow: Misses out on important points—Opposite of B.
• Improving reading speed

Another way to improve your overall score or mitigate the problems of accuracy is to maximize your attempts. If you are not able to solve even an RC and half of VA questions your reading speed is quite low. Try to skim the passage by avoiding unimportant words such as fillers, prepositions, examples, and repeated names. Set a timer to practice daily articles apart from the RCs you solve.

• Solving Pattern

The skimming technique mentioned above can be used to quickly go through the entire paper and choose the RC you will be solving first. Check your comfort level as well as Accuracy vs Attempts for different attempting patterns like solving either RCs or VA first or going with a combination of RC and VA questions. For example Summary-RC-then back to TITA type Para Jumbles. 

All the best for your CAT 2024!
