Phase 1: Build the Foundation (Days 1–30)

Focus: Reading habits, comprehension basics, and grammar.

  • Daily Reading (1 hour): Pick diverse sources like The Hindu, Guardian, Economist, Aeon Essays, and Scientific American. Summarize articles in 2–3 lines.

  • RC Practice (2–3 sets): Work on main idea, tone, and author’s intent.

  • Grammar & Vocabulary: Revise basic rules and learn 8–10 words daily through usage.

  • Para-Based Questions: Practice parajumbles, odd sentence out, and summaries.

Phase 2: Skill Strengthening (Days 31–60)

Focus: Speed, accuracy, and deeper practice.

  • Reading Practice: Move to denser content like sociology and abstract philosophy.

  • RC Drills (3–4 sets): Solve timed RCs (~8–9 mins each). Analyze mistakes.

  • Daily Para-Based Practice: Attempt 10–15 questions daily using elimination techniques.

  • Weekly Sectional Mock: Attempt a 40-min VARC section and review performance.

 Phase 3: Exam Simulation (Days 61–100)

Focus: Test strategy and maximizing accuracy.

  • Mocks & Sectionals (2–3 per week): Test different attempt strategies.

  • Error Log: Track mistakes like misreading or close-option confusion. Review weekly.

  • Tough RC Practice: Focus on dense passages (philosophy, art, sociology).
  • Last 30 Days: Only practice and review previous CAT VARC questions.

 Daily Routine Snapshot

  • 60 mins of reading.
  • 2–4 timed RC sets.
