How to prepare for VARC ?

Asked by [deleted user] on 2026-03-22 in CAT Prep

HEY, MAM I'm following the tips mentioned by you in a youtube video suggesting reading and summarising articles . I'm following this exercise from the past one month regularly . But when i solving low difficulty passages also the accuracy rates is very low. So, how can i prepare for varc systematically ? I am also giving basic test and scoring negative marks.

Hey Priyanshi 👋 For now, please don't worry about the marks. It is only important to get better at reading, paraphrasing (which you'd know if you have seen the video) and comprehension.

The key is to understand after reading the solution - 1. Why did I eliminate the three options or mark this one as correct? 2. What was the logic the solution presented to eliminate them? 3. Does my logic match with that of the solution? If not, then you take a mental note of the reason it got eliminated.

Slowly, your mind will start forming patterns. And that is what will help you intuitively eliminate the wrong options. I saw in your other comment that you have been preparing for a month now. This ability to be able to find the logic of elimination usually takes 2-3 months. So keep at it, you're on the right track.

Just don't evaluate yourself so much right now. Learn from the process.
