Tips on the Verbal Section

[kingnitin]

Hi!

For the past few weeks I have been compiling a list if some not so commonly used words in English, their meanings, examples etc. These are picked up from outlook, business world , hindu newspaper. I hope this helps the junta. Pls add to this list if you can and add more words so that we have a ready reference at any time for the forum members.

Thanks
Nitin

hi there..
im never sure of my answers in this section.should i still go for attempting them as out of all the sections,this one needs the highest cut-off??!!

also,about parajumbles,i think if we attempt that part,our scores can shoot up like anything.we just need to identify a link which will help us eliminate options.

* once you get the 'theme' of the paragraph, the rest should be a cakewalk.


Nothing's difificult!

i absolutely agree with you. PJs were bringing my score down drastically. i used to get a hit rate of 2 outta 6.
i then concentrated on Pjs for an entire week. practised everyday.
result: last mock i got all of them right

i tried looking for books with PJs exercises.. cudnt find any. so i stuck to old test papers. they are very helpful.

well good luck

[metalmessiah]

My accuracy in RC is pathetic (it actualy is!, usually a measly 50% )....any tips on how to go about getting a respectable score here.
PS: I dont wanna top RC..just wanna clear the cut offs, qa is my stength.

[vahgar]

Va is one section along with RC where luck is really important.Ppl will rush in and say 'practise' , not luck is the factor. True but think about it. CAT is a std test like amit said and scores cant vary too much. I got 99+ twice in mocks and also 50 in 2 mocks. It has to be your day and everything has to fall in place read- the ans should strike u the 1st time, if that don't happen, prb it won't the second time u read the qn. Concentration is the key.
