Try to focus on understanding the author’s argument and why each option is right or wrong. After every RC, analyze your mistakes- especially the trap options- and identify exactly what made you choose them. Also, don’t just read articles randomly; read with the habit of summarizing the main idea in your own words.

The biggest jump in VARC comes from analyzing why your chosen incorrect option looked attractive during the test, not just reading why the correct option is right. Identifying whether you fell for an extreme word, an out-of-scope detail, or a reversed premise prevents repeating the same trap.
