Do NOT make any assumptions whatsoever.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is essential to balance speed and accuracy to score well in any competitive exam. The best way in which you can gauge this is via practicing multiple mock tests. Mock tests not only condition you for the real time exam but also help you analyze your areas of strength and weaknesses.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">RC passages can range from a variety of topics such as: Philosophy, Psychology, Economics, Politics or even Science. We never know what might come our way. Hence, it is important that we establish a level of comfort with all such genres by reading from multiple sources. Newspapers, especially the editorials and the weekend specials are a good place to start. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A major problem that all candidates face while solving RC questions is that they get confused between 2 options. This happens because we read to understand only what the statements say; whereas the RC questions demands\u00a0our understanding of\u00a0the writer\u2019s\/author\u2019s perspective as well (this is known as reading between the lines).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"color: #666699;\"><strong><u><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/ibps-po\/?ref=blogdc\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11438 size-medium\" title=\"IBPS PO Prelims 2017: Reasoning Section, Practice, Mock, Free Tests, Study Material, Preparation Plan, Syllabus\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IBPS-300x250.png\" alt=\"IBPS PO Prelims 2017: Reasoning Section, Practice, Mock, Free Tests, Study Material, Preparation Plan, Syllabus\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IBPS-300x250.png 300w, https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IBPS-150x125.png 150w, https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/IBPS.png 336w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Apart from this, just PRACTISE as much as you can.
