04:22 PM

I would suggest you to read more except just mocks, something like The Hindu or Indian Express columns, they help in increasing comprehension. Second, make a note of type of mistakes and then analyze the reason, by this you can do better

04:24 PM
Priyanka Raj

my varc is not going more than 80%

04:24 PM
Rudresh Mishra

inference passed passages are my pain area. usually i get short passages right . again grammar is my weak point

04:26 PM
Priyanka Raj

this is an RC discussion yet i would want to ask question about quant no matter how much i practice there's this thing in my head that i cant solve any questions in the mock and i end up doing the same is it my fear or lack of practice?

04:27 PM
Rudresh Mishra

inference passed passages are my pain area. usually i get short passages right . again grammar is my weak point

04:26 PM

Sachin Mandot

To get inference right, you must be well read. Do you read columns in The Hindu like paper or non-fiction novels?

04:27 PM
Priyanka Raj

this is an RC discussion yet i would want to ask question about quant no matter how much i practice there's this thing in my head that i cant solve any questions in the mock and i end up doing the same is it my fear or lack of practice?

Your lack of practice is inducing fear in your mind.

04:31 PM
Rudresh Mishra

04:30 PM

Sachin Mandot

So when you start any RC, don't for literal meaning. Think if you can have any other dimension to it. It would take time initially but with time, it would get quick

04:31 PM
Priyanka Raj

can you elaborate more upon planned approach?

04:31 PM

Sachin Mandot

Make a plan, list down your weaker areas, practice their questions. Track improvement in your score. with time you would gain confidence.
