42+ VARC Strategy and My CAT Preparation update

[@tusharpatil1253]

nice speed for varc section i wish i also achieve that before the exam 😅...

[@chandrau414]

I think i should do UPSC, for VARC preparation, bro is wikipedia, hands down sir!!!

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

😂

[@crazy6822]

please mention the CL mock test name i.e. pro 'n' or flexi 'n'

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

Sure!

[@anshul4385]

what was your score in cdc pro 15 in varc ? i found it difficult..

[@ironman-iu4zv]

bro only varc wont get you anywhere. ur dilr and qa is just 50 percentile ( according to ur CL mock scores). lol everybody is struggling somewhere. I am not good in varc.

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

True brother...I am trying to improve my accuracy and speed in DILR and qa as well. My only goal however is to make net 6-7 questions correct in those sections so that I am able to clear the sectional cutoff. Do you think that much marks will suffice to clear the sectional cutoff? Also what should I do to improve my score given the time limit of 1 month?

​@@HemantGupta-o9q If you're planning to go to Old IIMs then I am afraid you'd need to score high in all three regardless. They don't prefer candidates with lopsided scores

[@The.Great.Indian.Whistledown]

Who said it's only 50 percentile? Just google and compare the score vs percentile of prev years..

[@anirudhdalvi3569]

He’s scoring over 15 in both dilr and QA consistently. That’s 95+ %ile as per CAT 2023. What’s 50%ile?

Bhai option eliminate krne ka tarika bta do ,

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

Brother it's the same that they tell in every coaching/YT video. Extreme options/vagueness/option covering broader idea/ comprehensive perspective. My personal thought over this is that if you understand the passage well then things become easier. There is no particular method that I know of that can help in every question that one comes across in RCs.

[@AdityaSingh-gn5uw]

Great about rc but how do you do va in 10 min

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

I do mostly para summaries because that's my strength, that takes about 3-4 min for 2 questions, then I go for para completion followed by parajumbles followed by odd one out. This is the decreasing order of my accuracy in each type of question.

[@Gauravsrx]

heymant bhai how to connect with you ?

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

As of now I'm not much active on social media or LinkedIn. But you can post your thoughts and views here. Btw nice touch with 'heymant'

[@Gauravsrx]

Actually mere rc mein focus lose ho jaaa rha idk so thats why wanted to talk

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

As far as I understand (from my personal experience), RC me focus loose hone ke reasons are: 1. One can get distracted while reading RC 2. One is not able to understand the first 2 paragraphs 3. One keeps reading the same line again and again and is not able to grasp the meaning. 4. Complexity of the RC For these try to : minimise the distractions, Try reading the RC slowly and in one go and understand (sometimes it helps), Make bullet points while reading the RC, Practice more, Know which RC to leave and save time. At the end more practice is what helps and a little luck on the d- day. Hope it helps!

[@aamir3801]

Bro, please help me how can I increase my accuracy in varc, I getting low marks

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

You can identify your weak areas, for instance if your RC part is weak then try to avoid complex sets, maximise your accuracy in VA, practice more. However time is not left now to drastically increase your marks. You can maximise your score in other 2 sections to improve your overall score. Practice pyqs now and analyse where you are going wrong, what was your thought process while solving the questions and so on. All the best brother!

[@Syamlala12385]

bhai pehle rc mein mujhe 15 min lg jata h actually before start i take 3 min to seee which rc to start its right strategy?

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

If you are comfortable this way then it's good. I think 3 min is a good buffer to know which RC to attempt.

Nope!

10 minutes mein Rc read krke answer krna... How is it possible bhai..??

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

It is, with the right reading speed per minute

[@iamkunal191]

6-7-8 mins mei bi krte hai bht log

[@jasmon888]

10 min is a lot, 7-8 minutes should be the correct timing for one RC There are plenty of people attempting all 24 questions in varc
