How are RC passages formatted in the actual CAT exam?

Asked by Aniket on 2026-07-11 in CAT Prep

So i have a doubt during the main CAT exam while attempting RC will the RC para's be divided like para 1, para 2 similar to what we have here in percentyl or they will leave no spaces similar to Cracku. So that i can mentally prepare myself. I tend to do well when the para's are divided.

It may be divided into 3 or 4 paras, sometimes even 2, rarely a single passage.

They usually are in paragraphs but there is no labelling. If a question says in para 2, you need to figure out what para 2 means by yourself.

Most of the times there will be paras, like 2 or 3 or 4, u can try different pyq's to understand how they are asked
