Hemant my acurracy in varc is around 55-60%. Please suggest something as in how to improve that. Also watched your varc strategy video and trying to score better.

Same issue brother, my accuracy is even worse

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

To improve accuracy I would say minimise the negatives. I follow different strategies for RC and for VA. For RC, I have identified what type of questions I get wrong. For example, I often end up marking those questions wrong in which 4 words are given in each option and it is asked which option correctly includes the main points mentioned in the passage ( I hope you understand what type of questions I am talking about). So if I am not absolutely sure, I skip them and prevent the negative marking. So identify what specific questions you are getting wrong. As for other questions in RC, I believe if one understand the passage well, accuracy will improve. For VA questions, my accuracy is also not good (specially in pj, pc, odd one out). Fortunately these are the tita questions. So I play on my strengths (para summaries and a few pc questions). You can do the same as number of tita questions in VA are more. Again I may not be the right person to take suggestions from in the VA section. Any teacher may provide tips there. Hope it helps.

@@HemantGupta-o9q thank you hemant. I find it really useful.

[@nishthakukreja21]

@@HemantGupta-o9q Also, I want to ask that how much have you covered in quants and lrdi...Like I have revised arithemtic and algebra and a bit of geometry. But I am scared of lrdi since I solved less sets. Would like to know your quants and lrdi strategy.

Hemant could you please suggest any of the CAT learning/online coachings which has best teaching staff who not only focus on teaching but the strategy building as well.

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

I have not taken any coaching for CAT. I watched quants mba wallah lectures that were available on telegram. And a few lectures on yt. So I suppose that I am not the right person to tell you this. However my cousin took IMS coaching and is currently in iift Kolkata. He said that it was good. However it is a third person perspective, so I cannot guarantee anything.

[@abhinavk.]

hey, nice going bro, why don't you totally leave pj and apply the time in other areas to improve

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

Yeah, thinking about this but I anyway do them in the last.

[@crazy6822]

What was the name of the CL mock which you took on 15th nov ?

[@HemantGupta-o9q]

It was one of the 2 free full length mock test on cl website. No name was on display except it was written 'test 1' & 'test 2'.
