CAT VARC Revision Strategy
- Consistently solve 3-4 RCs and 10 VA questions daily.
- if you are weak in VARC, make sure you give 1 sectional daily till CAT to improve your strategy and speed. see exactly where you are lacking, is it confusing between 2 options or you didn't understand the passage. You will find these things in sectional only.
- Use "elimination" methods to select correct RC options and focus on accuracy, avoid excessive guesswork to prevent negative marks.
- Maintain a notebook of key RC flow ideas, summary questions, and error logs for daily review.
| VARC Revision Task | Frequency | Strategy |
|---|---|---|
| Reading comprehension (RC) | Daily (3-4) | Elimination, summarize |
| Verbal ability (VA) | Daily (10) | Spot errors, parajumbles |
CAT Reading Comprehension Strategy

CAT DILR Revision Strategy
- Try as many different kinds of sets as possible in these last couple of days. The best way to go about the LRDI revision is by solving at least 3-4 years of CAT Previous papers even if you have solved them earlier, I would strongly advise you to do them again. If possible give them as sectionals. You can easily get them on Cracku's official website.
- Start each revision session by seeing what sets there are; the types that you have practiced and are sure about should be the first priority.
- The categories to try: circular arrangements, bar/line graphs, tables with missing values.
- Practice by pretending to be in an examination - solve each set during the time allocated to you and don’t spend too long on any set. You can build the habit of giving in the real exam format I.e you can take the last year's LRDI sets in the sectional test format.
- After mock tests, analyze your mistakes made in reasoning or calculation, and update your strategy notebook.
| DILR Set Selection Criteria | Attempt If... | Skip If... |
|---|---|---|
| Constraints | 4-5 manageable | >7 complex |
| Data presentation | Clear, tabular/graphical | Ambiguous/mixed concept |
| Familiarity | Similar to past sets | New, unusual format |
| Calculation | Direct, quick | Lengthy, multi-step |
| Question type | Direct, straightforward | Heavily inferential |

- Daily revision of key formulas - maintain a formula notebook and review before every mock.
- Focus on high-weight topics (arithmetic, algebra, geometry), practicing mixed-level problems and previous year sets.
