Common mistakes in CAT VARC

• Choosing an option because it sounds true in general rather than because the passage supports it.
• Skimming the passage so quickly that the author's tone and stance are missed.
• In parajumbles, forcing an order from a single linking word instead of checking the logic of the whole sequence.
• In para summary, picking the option that repeats a vivid example instead of the one that captures the central idea.

VARC preparation strategy

• Read every day from varied, dense sources such as long-form essays on economics, philosophy, science and culture.
• After each RC set, write one sentence stating the passage's main idea before you check answers.
• For each wrong answer, name the exact reason the option fails: out of scope, distorted, too extreme or only partly correct.
• Treat verbal ability questions as short logic problems: find the opening sentence, the pairs that must be together, and the conclusion.
