The collaborative preparation group for CAT 2018 Verbal
Verbal section is the most underrated section of CAT. This perception comes from a hypothesis that "Verbal can be done later on" or "Verbal to ho jayegi". This group aims to provide a platform for Verbal preparation.
Let us collaborate with our resources, skills and straegies to ace verbal.
#RC #ReadingComprehension #CATVERBAL #Verbal2018
HOW TO ACE Reading Comprehension Part 1
There are primarily 4 essential points
1 ) Increase your breadth of reading so that you are not fazed by any RC topic. For this devote at least half an hour reading opinion/editorial/op-ed section of any English Daily such as TOI, HT, ET or The Hindu. Since CAT is online, you can read their digital editions also along with articles on scroll.in Aeon.co nytimes.com guardian.com for past many years CAT has picked articles from guardian nytimes bbc.com .. so it is good to read articles from them
2) Second part of the answer is to solve 3 RC passages from your study material. Analyse these passages and see why you got questions wrong. Discuss this with your teacher and try improving with each RC
3) use a speed reading app to improve your speed. one such good app is spreeder.com
4) increase your vocabulary so that you are do not get stuck at tough words. use a good vocabulary app for this. One good applicaion is VoLT or you can use visual vocabulary slides which you can find at https://www.slideshare.net/search?q=rohit+nayak&utm_source=opensearch&searchfrom=opensearch
Happy Learning.
#vocabulary #CATVocabulary
One of the most challenging aspects of CAT is vocabulary. Though CAT has not asked vocabulary questions for some years now, other exams do ask them explicitly.
Average Number of Vocabulary Based Questions
IIFT >> 8 questions ( Syn/Ant - 2, Spellings 2, Analogies -2 , FIBs-2)
NMAT >> 12 questions (Syn/Ant-2 , FIBs -6)
XAT >> 6-8 questions ( Syn/Ant-2 ,Few Vocab questions in RC)
SNAP >> 15 questions ( Syn/Ant - 4, Spellings-2 , Idioms- 3, FIBs- 6)
MAT >> 9 questions ( Syn/Ant -6 , FIBs- 3)
Vocabulary plays an important role in CAT. one of the biggest problems a CAT aspirant faces in RC passages is complex vocabulary.
So mastering vocabulary or at least becoming familiar with words is a must.
There is a 3 phase/stage process to master vocabulary
Stage 1) Pick a good source for learning vocabulary
>> Word Power Made Easy
>> Visual Vocabulary Slides [We made them exclusively for entrance tests such as CAT/XAT ] https://www.slideshare.net/search/slideshow?searchfrom=header&q=rohit+nayak
>> VoLT app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rrpublication.volt.volt&hl=en
>> Learn from contexts
Whenever you read a newspaper article, passage and come across a new word, try to figure out its meaning from the context before you look up the dictionary.
For Example
Rajan pinkyponked his energy after climbing 5 staircases.
Now if he is climbing 5 staircases, this means he is goind up 5 stories, thus he will exhaust his enregy. thus the meaning of the word is exhaust / finish / consume
>> Look out for Word Origins
Every time you look up the word in the dictionary, make sure you identify the word root. Word Origin hold the key in the opening the lock of word memorization. A single root can add multiple words to your word stock.
>> Associate Words with People & Pictures
A simple trick of learning words is associating them with pictures and the people you know. At the end of the day, our memory works best when it has to learn through photos and not through text. So associate as many words as you with visual depictions in your mind.
Stage 2 ) after you have spent good amount of time at learning, start testing yourself
here are some good resources :
sat.tyrannosaurusprep.com [level 1]
gre.tyrannosaurusprep.com [level 2]
stage 3) solve Fill In The Blank questions from a good source such as
old XAT SNAP IIFT papers.

Because of the recent transformation of the market. Quore, Inc., must increase productivity, 10 percent over the course of the next two years, or it will certainly go bankrupt.

(B) Quore will not go bankrupt if it achieves a productivity increase of 20 percent over the next two years.
