MOCK SCORES SCARES ME A LOT (NEED AN URGENT HELP)

Asked by Aastha Sharma on 2026-10-03 in CAT Prep

Guys i am scoring really very bad scores in VARC.. aise toh sabhi mei kam aa rahe hain but specifically in VARC, i wanted to boost my scores.. cz LRDI is totally unpredictable and being a non engineering student, QA scares me alot.. so i am thinking to boost atleast one section (VARC) which can help me to increase my scores.. REALLY NEED YOUR HELP.. i am scared like a hell.. After giving 4 months of prep till now, still i am getting overall 20 to 40 scores in mocks. Now only 2 months are left. Its really terrible, actualy in VARC I am attempting very low like 8-9 questions pta nahi kyu overthinking karti hu test mei, because of that im not even able to inc. my attempt rates, sometimes i ended up choosing wrong RC.. and my accuracy is around 60-75%.. iske according can anybody please tell me any strategy which really can help me....

Maximize your attempt rate. I’m in the same situation as you as a non-engineer, so I try to maximize my VARC attempts. In my last mock, I got 11 correct out of 20 with only 6–7 incorrect. What I’ve figured out from my strategy is that if I can maintain around 75% accuracy while attempting 20–24 questions, I can potentially reach around the 99 percentile mark. Of course, it’s still a long way to go, and in today’s mock I got 13 wrong, so you definitely need to focus on accuracy as well. But since you said your accuracy is already good, try increasing your attempts and see how it works for you. Let me know how it goes.

hey so i dont know if this will help but let me tell you how i do varc i am also a non egineer and my varc is strong not like i get 40 or something but above 30 i get easily so my strategy is very simple before i also used to panic and fumble inn varc but then i started doing only 2 rc and 8 va i just do 13 or 14 questions with 100 percent accuracy ( trying to increase though )

first when the mock or sectional starts dont start doing question take 1 min see all the rcs whic subject you are comfortable with and the main thing see the questions which rc has like direct questions from the rc more like from paragraph 3 what author says or l;ike what author means in there choose those type of rc because you wont have to reread the rc agaimn just the para you can read and answer the question even if you are confused try to find these type of rcs also try to find rcs where the argument is not changing too much a linear argument is ongoing for the passage if there is none then try to find subjects you are comfortable with then move on with it ... what i do is first i do 2 rcs even if it takes me 30 min i do slowly no rush then i go to va and do 8 questions or atleast 6 in 10 min so you can try this

also i know for qa you just have to master any one section like i mastered arithmetic though sometimes even i dont get it but its ok so that helps a lot because these 2 sections are main for my startegy as i also love dilr but its very unpredictable so its abit hard
Hope that helps :)
