Four levels of reading are elementary, inspectional, analytical, and syntopic.

Elementary reading is a basic step of reading which you learn to do in schools. It is when you don't understand what is written and trying to understand word by word. An example is something written in any foreign language you don't know.

Inspectional reading actually has two sub-types- systematic skimming, and superficial reading. Systematic skimming refers to almost everything you read. It is a type of reading in which we need the information urgently but we don't have the time to read it full. For example checking an article. Just checking the heading and sub heading and the introduction just to know the topic and what the article is  about. Superficial reading is the one in which you read word by word without skipping anything. It is used in entertainment and information. For example, reading any book or novel for relaxing.

Analytical reading style is used if you want to understand the topic in depth, as you end up asking many questions about the book you are reading, and you have to organise your thoughts in a systematic fashion. It is a complete form of reading with unlimited time. Understanding the book or novel from the authors point of view if the part of this type of reading.

Synoptic reading is a comparative reading. It consist of reading same topic in many books and compare them. Syntopic reading includes finding the relevant passages ans forming an intelligent opinion by analysing all the information you have gathered.

Hello,

Hope you're doing well.

Reading comprehension : Reading comprehension is all about understanding and analyzing a given piece of writing, and answering questions based upon it.

Verbal comprehension : This is based on analyzing and reasoning. It aims at constructive thinking rather than simple fluency.

Data interpretation: Data interpretation is the interpretation or analysis and then answering questions based on some given data, which may be in the form of bar charts, pie charts etc.

Now, how to prepare for this?

You can start referring to books. I'll recommend you Arun sharma for DI and R.S agarwal for LR. Regularly, you can solve at least 5-10 questions if you are still a student. However, regular practice is needed for better results.

Also, if needed, you can join some coaching or some online classes.

There are various youtube channels uploading really knowledgable videos related to these subjects, they might  also be beneficial for you.

People believe that reading questions first is helpful and that will save time and that makes sense theoretically but my hunch is that for most people anyway that it is actually not going to work out very well because what is going to happen is that if you try to read the questions and then you read the passage and then you go back to the questions and you still wouldn't know the answer. You will have to go back to the passage. So you have to read the questions one time more than you need to. One thing to remember is that time is very precious in this test. It is a tough test and a good number of questions in the section and you don't have a lot of time so you have just a minute or two per question so you really should not waste your time. Time management is absolutely critical so reading questions first may work for some people and may work for some kinds of tests, our passages are not conducive to that practice because they are so dense and they have so many ideas in them and they are complex. The answers are not just going to pop off the screen at you once you read the passage. You really need to focus on the passage first and then go and tackle the questions.
