As you read through the given RC (split the passage into arguments and ascertain the placement of the argument as you embark further along the passage, doing so gives you idea of the author's headspace while composing the Rc) Some guidelines to eliminate VARC options:- 1) No hasty generalizations 2) word traps with same words but different meaning(cause -effect order being different etc.,) 3)Extremities or strongly worded options 4)verbatim copy(especially in inference questions): read carefully 5) Too broad or too narrow 6) Not backed by passage/lack of solid reasoning in passage to conclude an option 7) word play (change of words to trick you which significantly deviates from point conveyed in passag) 8) Strictly no external knowledge 9)Tonal switch: 10) Quality to quantitiy transition and vice versa in the passage to option

What i learnt from this is, only words trick us. So, we should be careful enough and understand the options.😊

Hi Priya, thanks for the comprehensive approach to VARC! Can you share the lowest, highest and average percentiles you scored in mocks?

@priyacray

Lowest mock score - 56%ile Average mock score 96%ile Highest mock score 99%ile (only once)

Hey first of all Thankyou so much!! For over an hour, I am sitting with the video making my own notes. Just wanted to highlight that in tip 7, the RC is incomplete, because what you were reading out was a lil different than what was presented on the screen. Nevertheless, I initially had thought that VARC came naturally to me and that I would be good that it, but my accuracy % said a different story. Your video gives me a ray of hope. I am making detailed notes. will have a look at the 2022 paper solving post this. God bless you!!
