This was a long thanks pending from my end. I saw this video two days before my CAT last year. I did not do any mock or studies for the exam. This single video helped me understand the nuances and option elimination technique which helped me get 15/16 RC answers right and a 99.63 percentile in the VARC section in the exam and an overall 98.07.

As you read through the given RC (split the passage into arguments and ascertain the placement of the argument as you embark further along the passage, doing so gives you idea of the author's headspace while composing the Rc) Some guidelines to eliminate VARC options:- 1) No hasty generalizations 2) word traps with same words but different meaning(cause -effect order being different etc.,) 3)Extremities or strongly worded options 4)verbatim copy(especially in inference questions): read carefully 5) Too broad or too narrow 6) Not backed by passage/lack of solid reasoning in passage to conclude an option 7) word play (change of words to trick you which significantly deviates from point conveyed in passag) 8) Strictly no external knowledge 9)Tonal switch: 10) Quality to quantitiy transition and vice versa in the passage to option

Hey first of all Thankyou so much!! For over an hour, I am sitting with the video making my own notes. Just wanted to highlight that in tip 7, the RC is incomplete, because what you were reading out was a lil different than what was presented on the screen. Nevertheless, I initially had thought that VARC came naturally to me and that I would be good that it, but my accuracy % said a different story. Your video gives me a ray of hope. I am making detailed notes. will have a look at the 2022 paper solving post this. God bless you!!

Hi mam, I am facing trouble with my RC. I can read the entire passage with good understanding in about 3 min, but while solving the questions it sometimes happens that i get stuck because it gets difficult to keep track of the ideas that where it was mentioned in the passage (so it gets difficult the validate or unvalidate an option ) and this is where the role of writing the conclusion or points of a para to keep track of it comes in. But when i do so i end up taking 5 min or maybe even more, not that i have a slow speed of writing, but it still affects the amount of time that i can dedicate to solving questions. I m confused what I should do in such a case. Because let's say if i stick to the former method i will end up solving only the easy questions that has obvious answers and face difficulty in the tougher ones. please help.
