Perform this basic step where you build conceptual clarity. You should develop a reading habit. If you did Paraz Jumbles today. If you want to do analysis the next day then pick the third day paragraph completion. Then after completing the paragraph for two days, pick the odd one out. So in this way you can alternate among these four topics.

60% practice 40% analysis. Focus on the error log you have maintained. Keep giving sectionals so that you get used to taking tests. You became used to it. You should get conditioned so that the test does not seem difficult again. Now I can't feel the air in the passage. If the passage is not from your comfort zone, then

its questions can be easy. But when there is a broken understanding of the passage then how will you solve the question. Hi my dear students. I hope you guys are doing well. So now CAT has only 150 days left. And that's the time we have to give our 100% to the VARC section. So what should be

the strategies? How should you utilize your days? What Is That Perfect Idea to Analyze the Mocks? What should be the daily targets? How should you see your progress happening? Everything we are going to discuss in this particular video. So let's get started. My name is Juhi Narula. So in the end [nasal sound] I will also explain a

common question that you get about how to strategically distribute the 40 minutes I get in the exam. So first of all we start the session. Do you know me? I have 15 years of experience in training students for various competitive exams, author, mentor and content creator. So now when we talk about BARC preparation,

we will distribute our preparation in five phase road map. So that's our first fuzz which would be day one to 30. Our idea will be to build fundamentals and stamina. See, stamina building is very crucial. Now, as some batches have just started, a common doubt that comes to the mind of the children is that Ma'am, we are

not able to study for more than 10 minutes. We find it very overwhelming when we solve reading comprehension. So right now, temperament building is very important for you. So Fuzz One to 30 is for fundamentals and stamina building. In which you perform only this basic step for one to 30 days initial 30

days. Where you build conceptual clarity. You should develop a reading habit. I will explain in detail how to do it. The second phase of our preparation would be targeting accuracy and scoring. So how do you start getting the right answers? Then the [nasal sound] third phase would be simulation and selection. So you have to also

select the right questions. No that's really important. So how will they do decision making? Let's leave that particular aspect to phase three. Phase four will be for the percentile push. So from day 111 to 135, our goal will be to increase our percentile as much as possible. Thatscent. And the last few days are

for exam execution so that we can prepare ourselves mentally a few days in advance for the D day right for the final battle. [nasal sound] So, look at this, your weekly commitment should be 16 to 18 hours because we have less time now. Right? So now you push your preparation. Now it is not time for

us to slowly move our car forward. Now we have to know really speed up and for that we need to invest more time. So your pace should be around two to two and a half hours on weekdays. Stretch more on the weekend. Fight for three to four hours. And your daily energy split should be 60% to

RC. RCS are crucial. See, without doing reading comprehension you will not be able to achieve CAT percentile. The sooner you understand this idea, the better and sooner your boat will cross the ocean. Right? 25% for Verbal Ability and 15% time should be given for Analysis. The idea of analysis remains weak in you children. We

repeatedly try to make you understand that the efforts you make without analysis will not give you perfection. Right? So your results will not be as effective as you know, as powerful as you wish that should be if you bypass the analysis step, right? So what should you do? In phase one, in which we are

talking about foundation building, first of all you have to do active reading. If you are my student, then I explain to you in every class that you should do general reading for 45 minutes, target philosophy, economic science, read more about whatever is your sore point, so that your mental fear, not the nervousness that you get after seeing, gets overcome. So you

should aim for long articles per day. If you are not able to do two, then at least do one and then create a short summary of it. I tell you this every time because you must have noticed that whenever a passage is solved in class, we first discuss the main idea, summary, primary purpose, stone

vocabulary etc. of that passage. Now I have also started the structure so that you can start understanding the passage. How does the author reason to you? That idea should start developing. So what happens by doing this summary is that you start getting control over the passage. Do you feel confident about what a good author is trying to say?

I am able to catch this. I am able to hold on and that confidence is very important to move forward in my VARC journey. So [nasal sound] now that you've had your sessions on the basics of RC, how do you map out our initial fundamental strategies? How do you understand the question carefully?

How will the elimination happen? That's all you need to know. So that's what I'm telling you, map the topic. Central Idea Tone Process of Elimination Why the Choices Are Going Wrong. So do two RCs for approximately 45 minutes. Right? Earlier I used to suggest one to two RCS. Now if you have less time then

definitely make two RCs. Right? After that, you can alternate between the VA basics of your essential concepts like paragraph summary, parajumbles and paragraph completion also. Right? So that you can do it. But ensure that you focus on understanding all the concepts. Strategically you should be sound and you should target 10 questions per

day. So if you have done Para Jumbles today and want to do analysis the next day then pick Para Completion on the third day. Then after completing the paragraph for two days, pick the odd one out. So in this way you can alternate among these four topics and you should be able to complete these questions in

30 minutes. So you will give 30 minutes every day. If you are not able to do 10 questions then do seven questions. But you should give 30 minutes to verbal ability. and vocabulary. Look, it is important to do vocabulary because if the words seem very new to you. If you are not able to understand four words in every line in every passage, then

a mental fear remains in our mind and it hurts us. Then we feel that the words are not coming. How will the passage be understood ? So Word Power Made Easy is what I recommend to you again and again. We have also created a video. How to read the book. So [nasal sound] approximately

if you devote 15 minutes to vocabulary building. Do this whenever you want to relax. But when your word formability builds up a little bit, then doing RC gives you strength from within. So this is your basically first phase in which you will get one to 30 days. So from whichever day you are starting your preparation, that is,

from today itself, do it as soon as possible. One to 30: Do this for the initial 30 days. Right? Now comes our second phase of preparation in which we are putting day 31 to 75, that is to get accuracy. So here now your daily load should be three passages. You will be able to do three in the same time

because if you have worked aggressively for 30 days then you will see the results. [nasal sound] Now the main idea here is to focus on the inference tone. And one important thing I would say is mandatory error lock. Catch the word mandatory. This is essential. So what is the error type, whether I misread

or I fell into a trap or my inference was incorrect. Now what was the reason that I was rusty? I was in a hurry to mark the answer or I could not catch the extreme language or while solving the inference I included outside information. So you have to keep a mandatory error log. And do

n't do this in the air. It has to be done on Excel sheet or pencil paper register. If you boast, you will not be able to catch the mistakes. Right? So our goal should be to achieve 80% accuracy now. So your VA target should be 40 minutes, para summary into four, parajumbles into four, odd one out

into three, that is, you should start solving three or four questions in a mixed bag so that your mind becomes capable of switching from one topic to another. Mind should be ready, right? Now if you do 10 parajumbles, then by the 9th or 10th question your mind will have learnt to handle parajumbles.

After parajumble, there is para summary, then para completion, then odd one out, so the mind should know how to tactically switch questions from one question to another, right, so on alternate days you should start sectional practice for 40 minutes, now in the second phase you will expose yourself in a testing environment, right, if you

expose yourself in the first phase in a testing environment, then now you do not have conceptual clarity, your reading is not strong in that, you are giving a test in that, then you get scared of it, right, right, you become mentally intimate with it. It does not add any value. Rather, your existing

preparation gets unnecessarily disrupted or you lose your confidence. So stick to the plan fuzz should be to develop accuracy. Now [nasal sound] that's our fuzz three, that's from day 76 to 110. This should be simulation and selection. So how to select now? What should be the approach? Let us discuss a little about this.

So [nasal sound] you have to have a 2 minute selection protocol. Right? So you have to give 2 minutes before starting the paper, before starting the questions and before solving them. And now when you are giving a passage, then evaluate its readability, this is very important. Right? What do we do? We do not evaluate readability.

Readability means it is important for you to know how much comfort level you are feeling in reading the passage. Question Density: Sometimes it happens that the options for questions are very big. I can't do it ma'am. I feel mentally scared. So should I select this particular passage which is heavy to read, rather than the passage which is easy to read

? You read the history passage. You thought my history is very solid. I will deal with this passage comfortably. So passage selection became easy for you. You think that my background is not in science. What is this biology based passage ? I am beyond my control. So this is how to look at The Idea Should Be Questions.

What kind of passage is this? On which topic is the passage based? You have to check that once. Topic for Millennium, as I said, it is very essential. So it is up to you to see where you have to attempt. Which are the questions that you find confusing or the opening lines of the passage are very abstract. Your

reasoning is not developing at all. You ca n't even feel the air. What are you talking about? Which questions do you have to pass? So in phase three, you should think a little and work on passage selection. Usually, where the language of the passage is difficult, the questions appear a little easy and where the language of the passage is

easy, they trick the questions a little. But if you are regularly practicing as many RCS as I have told you, dealing with different types of questions, then that question friendliness gets built. So if you ask me personally, ma'am, which RC should we do? So I would recommend the RC which you find easy to read and in

which you are able to grasp the passage and you will be able to solve those questions well. Right? Now I can't feel the air in the passage. The passage did not come from your comfort zone. His questions may be easy. But when you have a broken understanding of the passage, how will you solve the question? Right? So this is

it. Now your idea of weekend is to give you two sectional mocks on Saturday and a whole day on Sunday just for analysis. Attempts vs. Accuracy. Brother, suppose I attempt 16 questions and out of 16, I get eight correct. Right? And the next day I attempted 12 questions and got 11 of them correct. So I also have to

see that it should not happen that there are more attempts and the accuracy is less. Right? Then there is no benefit. You will lose marks in negative marking. So you should focus on accuracy rather than just maximizing your number of attempts. So it is important to maximize attempts. You come back after solving 12 to 16 questions

in BA. No one can stop your 99%ile if the accuracy is good. Right? So that is the condition here. So your weekly baseline will be two RCS plus one VA drill in which you make 10 questions and keep creating that drill as per your convenience [nasal sound]. Some day you did five para jumbles

, two para completions, one odd one out, two para summaries. One day I did a five paragraph summary. I picked up two questions each from the remaining three categories. So you keep making that drill as per your requirement. But if you are doing drills of two RCs and one VA then you are making yourself absolutely ready

for the exam. Now [nasal sound] the final fuzz of preparation before the final fuzz of preparation which is our fuzz four from day 111 to 135 this is your basically percentile push. So here you have to increase the intensity of the masks. Go to at least three full mocks right and your target

raw score should be 30 to 35. Now in this case your daily target will be one difficult RC plus 15 BA questions because you have now entered the test taking environment parallelly. You just have to maintain a temperament and routine. That's why you have been given a very realistic dual target. Now, whatever is your mock review

formula, you must check it here once. Right? That you should identify where the mistakes happened. Were we trapped or were we traps due to slow reading ? Or sometimes you were confused between A and B. You got a B mark. B got it right. Right? There are some such questions also. Isn't it

? You were stuck but somehow luck favoured you. So it is important to review that question also because you do not have clarity in the back of your mind as to what was the exact reasoning between A and B due to which B was correct and A was wrong. So you have to analyze this. Right? So

take a look at the questions again. Take a look at the mock again to see if there was any passage that if you had selected, would have turned the tables or if you had selected a difficult set due to which you could not get that many questions right. Instead of one question that wasted unnecessary time, I could have done three more questions.

Right? If I do n't understand how to decode a question, I should learn its simplification. Let me observe from where the session is given where the gap is coming. These are small things but they give a huge boost to your score. So we will take care of it. Now [nasal sound] that will be our

Fifth Fuzz of Preparation. Now there is no need to add any new material to it. Right? So then 60% practice 40% analysis. Focus on the error log you have maintained. Keep taking sectionals so that you get used to taking tests. You became used to it. You should get conditioned so that the test does not seem

difficult again. Right? So this is the time of peak performance where you should curate a sectional test and keep giving it. Keep analyzing. Focus on analysis and remain mentally calm. Right? Now you will think here that now there are 15 days left for the last one, so I will learn to decode the parajumbles. Ca

n't learn. This is a difficult task. So don't push yourself unnecessarily. And because [nasal sound] we don't have a lot of questions. So if you remain rigorous and consistent, it will help you a lot in the long term. Right? Now, the exam day strategy that I was telling you or you can apply it in mocks as well as

in sectional, how you have to do your 40 minute split. So, the initial 24 minutes have to be kept focused on RC. Right? So if you are giving 2 minutes for selection then you will see that you have approximately 22 minutes. So you have to give 10 to 11 minutes to solve one RC.

Right? Then after that, in the 24 to 35 minutes, you have to do VA execution and the last 5 minutes which you have kept for reviewing the questions or if you feel that friend, I can solve one or two questions by pushing a little, then keep that for the last 5 minutes. So this should be your

distribution, right? Now the weekly dashboard has 14 articles and 18 questions on RC 60VA. This should be your weekly goal. I have created a dashboard for you. So this should be your intensity from now onwards. Right? And then our accuracy will gradually increase in our initial days. Right? If you reach even 60% by the 30th day, it is

good. Then by day 110 your accuracy should reach 85%. And by 150 you reach 90% plus accuracy. Right? So I have told you the sources that will be there. I have told you this repeatedly. Ian, The Economist, Scientific American, read them [nasal sound]. It is very good content. This is a very impactful essay.

You will also enjoy reading it. Your exam temperament will also build. [nasal sound] And I will tell you again and again, consistency matters more than intensity. Right? [nasal sound] Continuous hard practice. Right? You have been studying for six days. Then for five days the box is completely round. Your RC is not being done properly for the last four days. You have already

left the RC. You are enjoying Quant. You are just doing quant. So, this type of irregular patterns do not bring success. The passage is getting corrected. It's a good thing. Your motivation to study the next day will remain high. It is not happening and then you are pushing yourself to do RC the next day. That's where

you are basically improving and progressing. So, what is going right and what is going wrong , we have to use our mind on this and analyse it. Right? But this should not decide your mood that if everything is going well then I will study tomorrow. If it is going wrong then I will not study tomorrow. I became demotivated.

Discipline is required here, not demotivation or motivation. If you want to study, you have to do it. Right? Only then will we be able to fulfill our dreams. And we're in this together. So I hope this video help you. Keep working hard. God bless you. Vijay Bhag.
