CRACKING THE VERBAL SECTION

The short answer is this check-list:
1. Don’t Prepare for Verbal like you would for Quants!
2. Read, Read, Read!!!
3. Evaluate the Answer Options Critically
4. Don’t Worry About Grammar and Vocabulary
5.    Approach LR Systematically.


The CAT Verbal Section (http://www.gocareer.in/2017/02/download-verbal-ability-and-reading.html) is all about testing Reading Ability. Fully one third of the Section is Reading Comprehension, with a total of 16 questions on this pattern alone. Apart from the 16 other questions from Logical Reasoning (more on this later), the other question patterns also focus on testing Reading Ability. But what is this Reading Ability?

Simply put, it is the measure of how well a candidate can relate to the ideas presented in the paragraph. That’s all. It doesn’t test how fast you finished reading the passage. It doesn’t test how deep your vocabulary is. It just wants to test whether you understood all the ideas in the passage or paragraph.

So I'll just suggest you to READ,  READ AND READ..


This things won't work and cannot be done overnight. It takes time... And with time you will learn and improved too.
