English Section

The english section mainly comprises of Vocabulary i.e Synonyms, Antonyms, Analogies, Fill in the Blanks, Critical Reasoning, Jumbled Paragraph,Spell Checking, Syllogs, Reading comprehension.


In this very section u need to get 20+ score. A good score will be somewhere between 26- 30. For this u need to attempt minimum 35 + questions in 40 mins with an accuracy above 80%. Usually there are 4 -5 Reading Comprehensions out of which 2 are speed breakers. You should develop skills to identify those speed breaker passages, avoid solving those and devote more time to other questions.There are some questions in reading comprehnsions for which u dont need togo through the passages. If you are running out of time in this section, then dont miss attempting these questions.


The way to tackle the reading comprehension section is to first have a look at the questions of the passages. Read the passage once and try to associate thequestions with the appropriate paragraphs. It isnt wise to attempt the questionswhen you are not 100% sure of the answer. Its advisable not to attempt the questionwhich asks for suitable title for the paragraph. 80 out of 100 times u are goingto get it wrong. Because all the title seems to be equally expedient to the passage.

Itz advisable to read Magazines, Newspaper quiodantly so that you get accustomed to reading passages.

Coming on to Vocabulary part, itz either u know it or u dont. Itz one of your innate skills.Dont try to ponder too much on Vocab if you arent good in it.
