CAT preparation, specifically for the VARC section, is important and must be done carefully to score maximum marks in the test. VARC is the most scoring section of the CAT exam. Before delving into the preparation, it is crucial to break down the VARC section into its two main sub-sections, i.e., Verbal Ability and Reading Comprehension. During the exam, you\u2019ll need excellent reading and comprehension skills to be able to solve VARC questions with ease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An important factor to consider when making your CAT 2026 VARC preparation strategy is that RC within VARC contributes to approximately 60-70% of the questions. These RC questions are typically divided across four passages of 400-600 words each. Unlike Quant or DILR, which are maths-based, the VARC segment of CAT 2026 tests a candidate’s reading comprehension, critical reasoning, inference, interpretation, and understanding of tone\/argument skills. Based on this, having a good grasp on the English language and grammar alone is not enough; you\u2019ll need to know how to think and comprehend accurately.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
