i am scoring around 27-35 when giving verbal sectionals but , when i give full length mocks i usually score between 12-25 . can anyone tell what should i do

Hi Divyanshu, A score decline could be due to multiple reasons: all kinds of psychological and preparatory elements could be attributed to low scores. A good way to identify the issue is to give more mocks and analyze them thoroughly to identify the core issues. If you struggle with the VARC section during mocks, go through each RC and non-RC question. Try to understand the reasons behind your mistake: Did I not understand the RC? Did I understand the RC but got confused with the question? Did I understand both the RC and the Question but found the options troublesome? Or was it all of the above? This sort of bifurcation will help you know the amount of time you will have to put in before your next attempt. In the earlier cases, if you had trouble with all of the above, you would need to work on your comprehension: reading more, practising more RCs and so on. You can develop your own strategies based on your analysis. Make sure you take a whole hour or two to go through everything. Check the matrix graphs to identify your weaker areas that need improvement and to come up with a way to capitalize on your strengths. {For example, if you find non-RC questions easy, attempt these in the first 15 minutes and then solve the RCs} You need to tailor your strategy in a way that produces the maximum benefit. I hope this helps!

Start giving more full length mocks because eventually CAT is going to be a full length mock and not 3 sections to be taken separately.
