Heya ananta its a humble request can uh make a video on a whole year plan for CAT'24 preparation from now like how to start till when to complete it like basis que nd if you cover these topics in a series it would be super worthful ❤
Bhaiya I used to score very good marks in VARC.On an avg my score in VARC was above 30 but from the last 4-5 mocks it has dropped drastically Please help me tackle this
I have a lot of difficulty eliminating options, I cannot understand how to eliminate it if I don't know I will be able to eliminate it. All the options seems correct to me.
what about the word most used in the option 8:05. Most is an extreme word so that should be eliminated. Now this is where i get confused whether to consider these words or not .
Hi Ananta according to you what should be ones target score as a GEM candidate , as there is a huge gap between percentile to score in 2021 and 2022 in the 99.5%tile+ domain. Especially what should be the target score for any GEM to get into BLACKI?

Hello sir can you make a video of how to comprehend a passage if it is in a difficult language with an example and also this video is very helpful thankyou so much for this 😊

Thanks for the content bro❤️ Could u make a detailed video regarding Dilr, from u told practisimg previous year qns but i can't solve which takes 1-2 hours even not solving. Then look for video solution. What to do, do i need to just look the soution and go on or just try it. Let me know, be very helpful
You need to improve your focus and get less distracted probably. Try to gradually increase the reading time. Also practice meditation or doing nothing for 30-40 mins everyday to improve focus
00:01 Improve accuracy in reading comprehension by eliminating wrong answer options. 01:11 Different types of questions in CAT reading comprehension. 02:21 Avoid options with extreme words. 03:30 Elimination techniques in RC 04:40 The relationship between societal attitudes and military policies in influencing each other for a vibrant society. 05:52 The tone of the author in the second paragraph is accusational. 07:06 Avoid incorrect linkages in reading comprehension questions. 08:17 Compare and justify each option in RC questions by analyzing the adjectives used.
Analyzing varc section of mocks is tough, because sometimes they eliminate option saying this is not specifically what the author says or this is out of scope and suddenly sometimes they give solution like this can be directly implied from author's statement so it's the answer. When to extend author's implication while marking answer is really tough. What do I do?
Try to understand the person writing the passage and writing the questions are two different people. So these kind of solutions in the mocks are just becsuse the question paper setter thinks it that way and it's directly implied for him (and not the author). Not necessarily your option is wrong. Use the last strategy of compare and justify snd try to come with your own logic in such cases Also, to let you know when coaching insitute came out with cat 2018 paper solution I was really scoring low in RCs based on their answers and it was mentioned in many places - directly implied in the passage. The actual cat solution was different and infact I got 22/23 correct. The coaching would have probably scored lower in answers where it was pretty obvious for them in the passage. Try to justify why your option can be wrong and that is the only thing you can do. If you are still not satisfied with the correct option, don't take it too seriously and move to the next one
Practice is the only solution! You might not see immediate results but gradually it builds up Realasing a video on dilr hacks soon. That will help you avoid difficult questions but the only way to improve is self practice!

Hi Ananta, thank you for your insightful strategies. With hardly a month left for CAT, what should be my focus while practicing RCs? Should I focus on accuracy and letting it take a little longer for my answers to be correct? Or should I constrain myself with time and practice?
No.... do not compromise on the number of attempts at this stage. It will be difficult to improve accuracy and answering in 2 minutes or in 5 minutes would not make a difference in accuracy. Use these strategies to practise but if you think you are taking a lot of time, just focus on speed. Usually when people practice a lot of RCs with these strategies, it becomes internalized and they do not have to specifically think about it separately. If you think it's not possible in 1 month, focus on speed
Got it! I think then a good way would be to give one sectional everyday for timed practice and 1-2 hours for practicing strategies and accuracy... Thank you for your inputs Ananta!
Hello! Ananta sir, one question for you... sir sometimes I find that I just couldn't absorb the stuff in my first reading (may be due to unfamiliarity of the topic,etc)... sir in such cases should I re-read that portion? Does this thing happen during your cap prep? Please let me know. Great content btw :)
Yes, happens. First if it is in a lot of portions try to skip that passage. If that is just 1 paragraph, you can quickly re-read. Make sure you understand the passage completely! Also, this kind of thing happens in mocks only where the passages are slightly difficult. CAT has significantly reduced the level, choosing the passages written in everyday language so it's easier for everyone to read. In cat the questions might be difficult but passages are usually very easy to read ( they want to focus on critical thinking aspect rather than English)
