How to get 30+ in VARC section

Asked by Anonymous on 2026-09-08 in CAT Prep

I have been giving the full length mocks since 3 weeks and my scores are less solely due to VARC. I am unable to cross more than 20 in VARC section. please guide me how to improve score to 30+ in VARC. there is less time for the cat and getting worried that this section will hamper my attempt in cat 2026.

Focus more on accuracy and RC selection than just attempting more do 2 3 RCs daily analyse every wrong answer properly and in mocks see which passages you should’ve skipped also don’t ignore VA it can give you those extra 6 10 marks

To read and understand RC effectively, read for the author's structure rather than speed. As you finish each paragraph, identify why the author wrote it—are they introducing a claim, providing evidence, or qualifying an earlier counterargument? When eliminating options, disqualify choices that exaggerate the author's certainty, use absolute words (all, never, solely), or introduce outside assumptions.

For structured practice with verified option elimination walkthroughs on actual exam passages, you can reference the past CAT RCs on https://thinkcat.in/cat-reading-comprehension-pyqs
