Hi, is there a way to comprehend faster? My major issue is with VA, in which I spend the last 10 minutes trying to solve questions. I know that if I spend a few more seconds or a minute more, I would get my answers right. It's because of hurrying my accuracy droops. Do you think I should try VA first, followed by RC?

Hi Abhi. I understand your problem. Note that some people do attempt VA questions first because they feel that their VA is strong, and they can score well by focusing on this part first. Or they do it to catch a break between two RCs. Hence, if you feel that the increased time you give to VAs is translating into a consequent increase in the score during mocks, do go forward with this. Another important thing to keep in mind is to leave some VAs for the last. When left with 3-4 minutes, in the end, you can attempt 1-2 VA questions, but not RCs. Make sure that you plan this through during the mocks. As for your initial question, increasing comprehension speed is a gradual process, which can be done only by rigorous reading. It is still possible if you invest a few minutes of your time reading articles daily with full concentration. Try to eliminate bad reading habits like getting lost in thoughts while reading, re-reading a line 2-3 times because we were not paying full attention the first time. These basic tweaks will ensure that you do not feel the constraint of time weighing you down and you can actually focus on solving the question properly. Regards.

Thanks a lot. Will apply what you said!
