VARC score fluctuations from 20-40 per mock are typically due to wavering focus and comprehension fatigue—not knowledge gaps. Improve consistency by practicing under suboptimal conditions (noise, distractions, morning mocks, evening mocks) so actual CAT feels controlled. Focus training through meditation or timed reading drills helps.
When you feel distracted mid-mock, take a 30-second pause to refocus rather than pushing through. Read The Hindu editorials, Mint lex, and Aeon essays daily to build sustained attention span for RC passages. Common VARC consistency killers: skimming passages too fast, misreading question stems, getting stuck on one tricky question and losing time, and second-guessing correct answers.
Practice accuracy tracking—aim for 80%+ accuracy on RC questions before worrying about attempt count. IIM Ahmedabad at Rs 27.5L fees for Rs 35.
22 LPA requires 85%+ VARC sectional for GEM shortlists, so consistency matters. IIM Bangalore at Rs 26.2L and IIM Calcutta at Rs 27L similar.
For weak VARC candidates, target 28-32 raw marks (80-85 sectional percentile) reliably. Do not chase 99 VARC if QA and LRDI are your strengths—clear sectional and maximize other sections. Aim for 7 correct RC questions + 1-2 VA/TITA in 40 minutes.
