This was the weakest section when I was preparing for cat. I got 76 percentile in VA in 2015. I was really upset because I did pretty well in other two sections. But due to low percentile in va, I couldn't get call from some of the iims. I started preparing from basics. There was a book named How to prepare for Verbal Ability by Sujit Kumar. Now, I guess Pearson has stopped publishing that book. But you can get pdf online. I solved that book religiously, analysed my mistakes and made a word file of my mistakes. After solving thay book, I jumped on past mocks. Followed the same strategy. When I started giving mocks, then I found the change. My accuracy and my score had improved as compared to previous year. I learnt how to eliminate the options in rcs. On The Day, I gave Cat and scored 96% in va. I was really happy after seeing my scorecard.

In nutshell, cat is all about practice. It requires hell lot of practice, but in strategic way. Initially, start doing 2 rcs, 10 summary, 10 para completion and 5 pjs from any book which you find comfortable with. Always do analysis of your mistakes and make a note of that. Then jump on past mocks. If you start doing these things diligently, then verbal will be a cake walk.

All the best.

See for your preparations of verbal ability section you start reading novels of good writers like Charles Dickens. You should also keep reading newspapers like Hindu which will help you in improving English and also keep you updated with current news.



Along with this you should start memorizing 5 words daily with their meaning and correct pronounciation which will help you in improving your fluency. Also start using these words in your daily conversations which will help you in memorizing these words.



In Verbal Ability section there is Reading Comprehension section and questions based on it does not have direct answers.
