Now the catch here is you need not to solve every question from the CAT 2026 VARC question paper. Your actual goal should be to select the right questions and answer them with 100% accuracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you still haven&#8217;t mastered this trick then it&#8217;s high-time that you focus on building your time-management and accuracy skills. In these 50 days of CAT preparation, your only priority should be to revise the high-weightage VARC topics first and practice questions within a strict time limit with high accuracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phase_1_Day_1_%E2%80%93_Day_15\"><\/span><strong>Phase 1: Day 1 &#8211; Day 15&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Start your <strong>CAT preparation<\/strong> by doing a thorough reading everyday. Pick any editorial or article and read it dedicatedly for at least 30 minutes. Include regular RC practice in your schedule. Start with no time limit and then from next week, consider practising every RC under a 7-8 minutes of time limit.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Also, practice VA questions during your CAT 2026 VARC preparation. For 30 minutes daily, practice the Fill in the Blanks, Off One Out and other questions. As there&#8217;s no negative marking for the TITA questions, attempt every question to develop familiarity with VARC exam pattern.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Attempt at least 1 sectional in a timespan of 40 minutes. This is the most important part and do not skip it during your CAT preparation. Moreover, start maintaining an error log too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phase_2_Day_16_%E2%80%93_Day_30\"><\/span><strong>Phase 2: Day 16 &#8211; Day 30<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>The second stage will be mainly focused around practising the timed RCs.

As not all the RCs are equal, you must be aware of which RCs will lead to a quick solution and which might take time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Simultaneously, utilize this <strong>CAT preparation <\/strong>stage to practice 2-3 mocks every week and analyse every mock test errors repetitively.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phase_4_Day_43_%E2%80%93_Day_50\"><\/span><strong>Phase 4: Day 43 &#8211; Day 50<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Focus on getting a proper sleep daily.
