However, it is also the most unpredictable section, with close answer choices that can confuse even the best performers. Many students find VARC particularly challenging due to a lack of regular reading habits, making comprehension and accuracy difficult.

The answer options became more closely worded, fonts were larger, and passages featured more complex comprehension and diverse genres.

While the difficulty level has generally leaned towards moderate to difficult, recent years have seen an increase in the complexity of passages, requiring a deeper understanding and stronger reasoning abilities. The types of RC questions have evolved as well, with a mix of analytical, conceptual, and inference-based questions becoming more common. This shift means that CAT aspirants are now required to go beyond basic comprehension, using critical thinking to answer questions accurately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/iquantacat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark>Join the Largest CAT Preparation Community in India<\/mark><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/iquantacat\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42699\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-747x420.jpeg 747w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-150x84.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-696x392.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM-1068x601.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.iquanta.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-01-22-at-11.07.00-PM.jpeg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"CAT_Verbal_Ability_5-Year_Analysis\"><\/span><strong>CAT Verbal Ability 5-Year Analysis<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Year<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Total VA Questions<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>VA Questions Type<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Difficulty<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2020<\/td><td>8<\/td><td>Para Jumble: 2<br>Para Summary: 3<br>Odd One Out: 3<\/td><td>Easy-Moderate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2021<\/td><td>8<\/td><td>Para Jumble:2<br>Para Summary:3<br>Odd One Out:3<\/td><td>Easy-Moderate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2022<\/td><td>8<\/td><td>Para Jumble:2<br>Para Summary:2<br>Odd One Out:2<br>Sentence Insertion:2<\/td><td>Moderate<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2023<\/td><td>8<\/td><td>Para Jumble:2<br>Para Summary:2<br>Odd One Out:2<br>Sentence Insertion:2<\/td><td>Moderate to Difficult<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2024<\/td><td>8<\/td><td>Para Summary:3<br>Odd One Out:2<br>Sentence Insertion:3<\/td><td>DIfficult<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Verbal Ability section has consistently had 8 questions, focusing mainly on Para Jumbles, Para Summary, and Odd Sentence Out. While the difficulty is generally moderate, exam pressure can make the questions feel harder. In 2024, Para Jumbles were missing, and Odd Sentence Out questions returned in 2023 after being absent in 2022. Unlike previous years, the VA questions now appear first and are mixed in between the RC passages, which can affect how you tackle them during the exam. The questions may seem tougher in the actual test due to time constraints, so managing speed and accuracy is the key to success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;ve tried multiple times or are taking the CAT for the first time and feeling unsure, iQuanta can help you.
