How to improve in VARC?

Asked by Sneha Biswas on 2026-07-04 in CAT Prep

Di, I am really facing too many issues in solving RC passages. I'm mainly facing issues in understanding the context behind the particular passage. Because of that I am unable to mark the correct options. Is there anyway I can improve now? Please help.

Are u spending time in comprehending the passage properly? because the questions will be from passage itself, U need to spend more time in understanding rc, even if u take 20 minutes or more, it's fine, try to understand the RC and then solve the questions and do it regularly, and then increase the speed, you'll improve for sure

If you cannot understand the context behind the passage...then just read slowly and read a paragraph multiple times until you understand it properly. Take your time, do not rush and keep reading dense RCs everyday and eventually you'll get used to it and it'll feel easy. As for the options- don't just choose the right one, eliminate the wrong ones- analyze in your mind why this option is correct and why the others are wrong. Practice this way consistently and you'll improve. I also faced problems like you but now I get perfect score in almost every RC I solve.

Some mentors say you should not get so obsessed with a set that you forget the overall context of this exam
