Hi guys, i just wanted to ask how to improve comprehending speed? Like, I could only solve 2 passages in 40 mins time , maybe sometimes with few va questions. It takes me 10 mins just to understand the passage( that is because, I reread the paras, since I don't really understand the passage in the first go and i dont really think, I would be able to change the habit of rereading). And then, when I answer the questions, it takes me time to confirm that it might be the answer. The thing is, i get almost all right, but then the attempts is always less than 10.Can somebody help me with suggestions?

Keep reading more and more, this isn't like QA or DILR in which improvement is seen in a span of days. It takes time for comprehension abilities to develop. Key is to read daily to learn new things, not to solve questions(strategy comes later).

understand the passage is important . Don't worry if you are unable to get it right in cracku mocks as they are 600+ words passages . Cat will limit it to 450-550 . Answering questions without understanding passage is like shooting with a blindfold on. Attempt low if you can't understand
