what is the most effective way to solve an RC?

Asked by Karan Kashyap on 2026-08-21 in CAT Prep

How i solve RC in mocks:-

step 1: first i read the whole rc and it take upto 7 to 8 minutes for me to complete it.
step 2: then i go for questions and it takes upto 4 to 6 minutes .

sometimes i have to re-read the paragraph for the questions but even though my accuracy is not getting any better.

how can i increase my accuracy as well as my attempt rate?

I would say to learn how to eliminate options better ..it maybe be after a phrase or a word. Usually what I find easy is to cross check the options in the para to clear out at most 2 so that the 4-6min you have mentioned is cut short..it's a trial and error method (that is it might not always work imo but it did help me to sharpen my deduction)

The fault is mostly on the RCs we used to attempt back in school days cuz that was simple ..writing out the exact phrase.since we have been subjected to that constantly so it became hard trying to move out of it.

Trust me you can undo that <3
