For FCI Manager, the exam pattern had been changed this year, reducing the weightage of the English section from 30 questions and 30 marks total to 25 questions and 25 marks total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is a shift-wise breakdown for the English Section from FCI Manager 2019 Phase I exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shift 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Difficulty level \u2013 (easy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Reading Comprehension (Water Crisis based):&nbsp; 10 questions<\/li><li>Cloze Test: 7 questions<\/li><li>Error Detection: 5 questions<\/li><li>Sentence Rearrangement: 5 questions<\/li><li>Phrasal Sentences: 3 questions<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, the Reading Comprehension section contributed a solid 10 questions which is a significant number, followed by the Cloze Test and then the rest of the type of questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shift 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Difficulty level \u2013 (easy)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Reading Comprehension (pollution based): 8 \u2013 10 questions<\/li><li>Sentence Rearrangements: 5 questions<\/li><li>Word Rearrangement: 3 \u2013 4 questions<\/li><li>Cloze Test: 6 questions<\/li><li>Error Detection: 5 questions<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Here too, Reading Comprehension had almost 8-10 questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the above analysis, it can be seen that topics of current relevancy can be expected for Reading Comprehension. So it&#8217;s recommended that candidates read editorials and articles concerned with current affairs to improve comprehension and awareness of such subjects. This will also help in preparing for General Studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/fci-manager-mock-test\/?ref=contak-fci-manager&amp;utm_medium=Organic&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=contak-fci-manager\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Attempt a free FCI Manager mock test now!<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FCI_Manager_English_Preparation_Books_to_Refer\"><\/span>FCI Manager English Preparation: Books to Refer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a few but good quality study material goes a long way in making your preparation efficient.
