Here are some of the <strong>best practices<\/strong> to follow while reading for reading comprehension!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Do not \u201cconsciously read\u201d all the time<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">When it comes to RC passages, there is this perception that one has to consciously remember names &amp; dates, register details and stow away facts &amp; figures from the passage. So, we tend to practice for this by \u201cconsciously reading\u201d all the time. So, every article, passage, blog or story is read with an agenda \u2013 to retain, recollect and regurgitate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"316\" height=\"251\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/DeadHonoredAmericanwirehair-size_restricted-1.gif?resize=316%2C251&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Do not consciously read all the time\" class=\"wp-image-4232\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">This creates <strong>two problems<\/strong> \u2013 <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">a) You miss the themes. You only remember the facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">b) Reading becomes a chore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">So, you become like the sports journalist tasked with submitting a match report 15 minutes after the match ends. There is no joy in watching the sport you love. Your mind is continuously thinking of phrases and turning points for the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Read for the joy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/giphy-2-4.gif?resize=480%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Read for the joy\" class=\"wp-image-4226\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>The best authors transport you to a different world. Read to go to that world. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">For the love of God, do not peruse PG Wodehouse novels because that would help you with CAT preparation. The man who created the &#8220;Empress of Blandings&#8221; and &#8220;Jeeves&#8221; would turn in his grave if he were to know that his books were being \u201cstudied\u201d to crack an exam. The Curse of Wooster would forever hang over you if you tried that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">It is impossible to pick humour if you are reading \u201cconsciously\u201d all the time. A passage from MJ Akbar has phrases \u201cThe Delhi government has already issued restaurant alerts through radio ads, saying anyone who tries to eat out is anti-national\u201d and \u201cAll we did was to introduce the Commonwealth to Indian standards of hygiene\u201d. If you read this well, you will have a smile on your face for 20 minutes. If you read in \u2018RC\u2019 mode, chances are that the entire passage seems unfunny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Speed Reading is for losers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Do this exercise. Take a standard book source, read 10 pages from it and compute the number of words you can read per minute. Do this every day from 6 am to 6 20 am and then chant \u2018Om\u2019 108 times. Chances are that your health will improve because of the chanting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-style-large\"><p>Speed reading is bakwas. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">There, I said it. You cannot suddenly read quickly. The guys for whom speed-reading techniques worked are making a mistake with causality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"199\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Correlation-and-causation-1.gif?resize=640%2C199&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Speed reading is bakwas\" class=\"wp-image-4229\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">A man goes to his doctor because he\u2019s been feeling very ill for days. The doctor gives him several sets of pills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The doctor instructs; \u201cTake the green pill with two big glasses of water when you get up. An hour later, take the white pill with another glass of water. Take the blue pill with a big glass of water after lunch. Mid afternoon, take the orange pill with plenty of water, and repeat that at dinner. Then, just before going to bed, take the red pill with several big glasses of water.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The man is alarmed at huge volume of medicine he has been given to take, and nervously asks, \u201cWhat\u2019s the diagnosis? What\u2019s wrong with me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The doctor says, \u201cYou\u2019re dehydrated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">All speed-reading tips are like these tablets. Speed improves with more reading, everything else is just garnishing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Of course, there is one foolproof way to improve reading speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"191\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cartoon-1.png?resize=600%2C191&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Speed reading is for losers\" class=\"wp-image-4214\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cartoon-1.png?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/cartoon-1.png?resize=300%2C96&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">But I guess you are not looking for this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Skimming paragraphs, skipping words, jumping sentences, thinking phrases instead of mere words are all suggested techniques to improve your reading speed. They will also simultaneously muddle your brain and make you addled in the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Read slowly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">I cannot emphasize this enough. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Read slowly. Do not get suckered into trying to read quickly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Each passage is going to have roughly 500-600 words. At an average reading speed, you can finish it in 3 minutes. If you read well, comprehend everything and are clear about the passage at the end of these 3 minutes, you will get a rock star score. You will do really well to not try to save another 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"286\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/source.gif?resize=500%2C286&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Read slowly\" class=\"wp-image-4234\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Every time you run into pressure in the VA section, the temptation is to try and read quicker. The correct response is to read slower. Make an effort to read at your natural pace. Don\u2019t rush-read. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/online.2iim.com\/cat-exam\/blogs\/bharaths-curated-reading-list-for-cat-exam\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bharath&#8217;s curated reading list<\/a> is a gem to behold in terms of your RC Preparation.
