Arun Sharma-Verbal Ability & Reading Comprehension for PC

How to Prepare for Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension for CAT is designed to make you perform extremely well in the English segment of the Common Admission Test (CAT).

The verbal ability portion of CAT checks your reading and comprehension skills in English. What is tested is your ability to go through a range of reading material. So concentrate on what you may not have read earlier, eg philosophy, spirituality, religion, social sciences, humanities, sciences etc. Ideally, you should spend approximately 80% of your time of English preparation on reading and solving questions related to these. Memorising rules of grammar or cramming up words, at this stage, will not help much. You can spend at most 20% of your English preparation time in doing these activities. Solving questions on the pattern of the previous years’ examination and learning words/rules of grammar will help tremendously.


Continue to take mock exams regularly. This will improve your mental and physical stamina for attempting tough tests and also prepare you to handle unexpected situations. Since the pattern of CAT is unpredictable, a series like the mock tests, with lots of types of tests patterns and difficultly levels is important. Further, analysis of your mock tests is even more important since this helps you understand your strengths and weaknesses, build stronger concepts, practice your skills, capitalise on your strengths and remove your problems.
This App comes in handy for other competitive exams like the MAT XLRI, IIFT, IRMA, XAT and many more.
