English is considered as a difficult section by many MBA CET Aspirants. Also, it has been found that even after a good quality of preparation, it is difficult to score full marks in this section
In this post, we are particularly emphasizing on the Reading Comprehension topic, which constitutes the maximum number of questions in any MBA Exam. Subsequently, in this post, we will analyze the approach, and strategize to score better in this section.
Reading Comprehension is the ability to read the text, process it and understand its meaning. In addition, RCs are aimed at testing a candidates Knowledge of two elements i.e. Vocabulary and Text Comprehension.
And it is interesting to note that both these elements play a crucial role in the better understanding of the passage i.e. for understanding a text, one must have a better knowledge of Vocabulary. But what is more complex and varied out of the above two elements is Text Comprehension.

Now let’s discuss how one should attempt the RC in the Exam. Generally, there are 2 ways in which an RC can be attempted which are given below:
1. PQ Approach (passage first, then the questions)
Read the entire passage thoroughly first and then read the questionsSkim & Scan through the passage and keep going back and forth with questions and passageRead the first 2 paragraphs, scan all the questions and see what you can answer, then read Paragraph 3 & 4, scan the questions and see what you can answer, then read Para 5& 6!!
2. QP approach (questions first, then the passage)
Read all the questions with their answer options first and then the passageRead question 1 with all the options, then go through the entire passage to answer it. Then read question 2, go through the entire passage. Then question 3!Just read all the question stems, without reading the answer options. Then read the passage and try answering the questions by reading them with the options.
After practicing all the above strategy and approach, here are some tips you must follow while attmepting an RC.
1. Eliminate and not select: In most cases, elimination of choices work better than the selection of choices. Here is an approach to eliminate which is ‘BANE’. Eliminate choices that are too broad, too narrow, that are alien (Strange) and too extreme.
2. Never apply your own knowledge/assumption to the given passage. Confine your understanding to the given passage only
