Yes, video lectures can help if your fundamentals are weak but don’t fall into the “watching lectures = improvement” trap.
A simple plan that works for many students:
30–40 min: Watch one concept video (odd one out, para jumbles, para summary, etc.)
45–60 min: Solve 5–8 questions of that same type
20 min: Analyze why each option is right or wrong
Keep an error notebook with patterns like:
choosing extreme options
missing contrast words (however, although, but)
ignoring the author’s tone.
Also, read 20–30 minutes daily (editorials, Aeon, The Hindu, Indian Express). VA improves a lot through exposure to good English.
And don’t panic if you’re scoring poorly right now. VA is often the slowest section to improve, but once the pattern clicks, scores can jump surprisingly fast. Focus on accuracy first, attempts later.
Also, don't forget the daily challenges here. Build the habit as fast as you can!
Hope this helps :)
