CAT Reading Comprehension Tricks for 99 percentile | How to eliminate options in RC |CAT Preparation

[@vishaljaiswal1896]

Learning: 3 types of questions - a) What is the summary/ tone of the paragraph For these type of questions, don't go back to paragraph, reading has to be done in such a way you are ready to tackle these question in one go. b) meaning of some sentences or words used in paragraph For these you need to revisit the passage and start eliminating the incorrect option c) which of the following options with strengthen or weaken the argument Strategy 1. Avoid extreme words like All, impossible, many, every, each etc... These are mostly indirect options 2. Majority approch: All the options might be correct, but the one which covers the majority of the point is the correct option 3. Tone of the passage: identify the one which is align with para tone 4. Don't use external knowledge to answer RC questions 5. Avoid Incorrect linkage... Don't get confuse if there is linkages devloped in the option just because there is correlation doest not mean it with have cause and effect relation 6. Compare and eliminate each word from option

The most frustrating part about RC is when you are stuck between two options and even when doing the guess work most of the time you get the chosen option wrong

[@45-tejasmahajan84]

oh man ur right, any idea abt how to tackle it?

[@PrakharChauhan-t1x]

No idea main reason is we just read and don't know what the passage is saying kbhi pura sahi ho jata h kbi ek bhi nhi phir pta chla jo pure sahi hote h usme sirf option dekh ke tick mar dete h jisme nhi hota kuxh samaj nhi atH ​@@45-tejasmahajan84

How to improve concentration while reading because when I am reading newspaper their is something going back of mind

[@ananta.chhajer]

You need to improve your focus and get less distracted probably. Try to gradually increase the reading time. Also practice meditation or doing nothing for 30-40 mins everyday to improve focus

[@Dr._akankshaa]

Analyzing varc section of mocks is tough, because sometimes they eliminate option saying this is not specifically what the author says or this is out of scope and suddenly sometimes they give solution like this can be directly implied from author's statement so it's the answer. When to extend author's implication while marking answer is really tough. What do I do?

[@ananta.chhajer]

Try to understand the person writing the passage and writing the questions are two different people. So these kind of solutions in the mocks are just becsuse the question paper setter thinks it that way and it's directly implied for him (and not the author). Not necessarily your option is wrong. Use the last strategy of compare and justify snd try to come with your own logic in such cases Also, to let you know when coaching insitute came out with cat 2018 paper solution I was really scoring low in RCs based on their answers and it was mentioned in many places - directly implied in the passage. The actual cat solution was different and infact I got 22/23 correct. The coaching would have probably scored lower in answers where it was pretty obvious for them in the passage. Try to justify why your option can be wrong and that is the only thing you can do. If you are still not satisfied with the correct option, don't take it too seriously and move to the next one

[@Dr._akankshaa]

@@ananta.chhajer thank you so much for such a detailed explanation, means a lot to me! I'll try even harder to eliminate options.

[@alpachheda3324]

Hi Ananta, thank you for your insightful strategies. With hardly a month left for CAT, what should be my focus while practicing RCs? Should I focus on accuracy and letting it take a little longer for my answers to be correct? Or should I constrain myself with time and practice?

[@ananta.chhajer]

No.... do not compromise on the number of attempts at this stage. It will be difficult to improve accuracy and answering in 2 minutes or in 5 minutes would not make a difference in accuracy. Use these strategies to practise but if you think you are taking a lot of time, just focus on speed. Usually when people practice a lot of RCs with these strategies, it becomes internalized and they do not have to specifically think about it separately. If you think it's not possible in 1 month, focus on speed

[@alpachheda3324]

Got it! I think then a good way would be to give one sectional everyday for timed practice and 1-2 hours for practicing strategies and accuracy... Thank you for your inputs Ananta!

[@MrAAMNNITAllahabad]

Hello! Ananta sir, one question for you... sir sometimes I find that I just couldn't absorb the stuff in my first reading (may be due to unfamiliarity of the topic,etc)... sir in such cases should I re-read that portion? Does this thing happen during your cap prep? Please let me know. Great content btw :)

[@ananta.chhajer]

Yes, happens. First if it is in a lot of portions try to skip that passage. If that is just 1 paragraph, you can quickly re-read. Make sure you understand the passage completely! Also, this kind of thing happens in mocks only where the passages are slightly difficult. CAT has significantly reduced the level, choosing the passages written in everyday language so it's easier for everyone to read. In cat the questions might be difficult but passages are usually very easy to read ( they want to focus on critical thinking aspect rather than English)

The speaker discusses strategies for improving reading comprehension accuracy, particularly for GMAT exams. They outline six approaches: 1. Avoid extreme words (e.g., "all," "each," "every") in options. 2. Use the majority approach (broad and narrow) to identify the correct option. 3. Match the tone of the option with the author's tone in the passage. 4. Limit knowledge to what's mentioned in the passage (avoid external knowledge). 5. Avoid incorrect linkages between ideas. 6. Compare and justify each word in the option with the passage. These strategies aim to help test-takers eliminate incorrect options and improve their accuracy in reading comprehension questions.
