In this post, we will try to understand why RC&#8217;s are difficult and how to improve your preparation of this particular question type. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We will also present some extremely important techniques that will help you read a &#8220;difficult&#8221; RC passage better and consequently score more!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Read_A_Comprehension_Passage_Effectively\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>How To Read A Comprehension Passage Effectively <\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> This first step has to do with your &#8220;attitude&#8221; towards an RC passage. Your brain rejects learning something you hate! So, mend your attitude! <strong>Pretend to like the topic<\/strong>, the question type. Understand that <strong>actively engaging with a passage<\/strong> is not a choice but a necessity. It is\u00a0THE key to acing RCs. You cannot just do a surface level reading and get away with answering questions.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Step 2:<\/strong> Every passage has a <strong>simple message<\/strong> to convey at the heart of it. So, <strong>look for it<\/strong> while you&#8217;re reading. Think of how would you retell the passage to\u00a0a teenager in just a couple of lines. This will help you focus on the more important details.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> The <strong>first few sentences<\/strong> of any RC passage provide critical context for the entire text. <strong>Understanding them<\/strong> is of <strong>utmost importance<\/strong>. However, here&#8217;s one caveat. One should realize that &#8220;forming an impression&#8221; is not understanding. So, instead of thinking that you&#8217;ve understood, try doing this: let&#8217;s say you encounter a very technical\/academic sentence &#8211;&gt; convert it into the simplest sentence. You can ignore the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.oxforddictionaries.com\/definition\/jargon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">jargon<\/a>\u00a0here.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Step 4:<\/strong> As you&#8217;re going about your reading of a passage, keep linking it to whatever you&#8217;ve read in the passage before. Thinking in the following ways would help:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is this new information surprising?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Does this support the previous point?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Does it give any examples?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is it asking a question?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Is this sentence unexpected in the context?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Step 5:<\/strong> As you move forward in the passage, increase your speed. Ideally, go faster after the first paragraph. Do NOT get lost in the details. You should understand that you do NOT have to master each and every bit of content. You just have to pay close attention to passage beginnings, any changes in the direction of what the passage is saying (contradictions etc.) and any answers or conclusions that have been stated.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reading_Comprehension_Factors\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Reading Comprehension: Factors<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let us first understand what are the factors that make the RC question type tough.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The content\/ language of the passage is demanding<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Passages given in exams may focus on unfamiliar topics. Sometimes advanced vocabulary is used to up the difficulty quotient. This is the reason why we, in fact everyone recommends continuous reading of varied topics from good sources.\u00a0This helps you establish\u00a0a comfort level with a topic and thus helps you in better understanding an RC passage given in the exam.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There is a time limit<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The fact that a passage is to be read fast and understood at the same time poses real challenge to the test takers. Many people say that had they had a little more time, they could&#8217;ve attempted the RC set. But we do not have that luxury in an exam.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One cannot afford to skip RC sets<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">RC is a question type that regularly asks 3 &#8211; 4 questions around one content piece. With all other question types, in case you get stuck you can always skip or make an educated guess and move on. But\u00a0with an RC passage\u00a0the cost of skipping is too high. Thus, a decent level of understanding of the passage MUST be established.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Now that we know why do we say that RC&#8217;s are difficult, let us try and overcome these hurdles. The one phrase answer to all RC related woes is <strong>Effective Reading<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_A_Reading_Comprehension_Passage_Main_Components\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Understanding A Reading Comprehension Passage: Main Components<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In general, most RC passages have the following components:-<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Central Idea or the Main Idea:<\/strong> This is basically the crux of the passage. You can crack most RC questions by learning to single out the central idea of the passage. While reading, ask yourself whether everything\u00a0mentioned in the passage aims to explain this point. If the answer is yes, then this is your central idea.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Facts, Data, Examples or Background Information:<\/strong> This usually given to provide context to the main idea.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Results \/ Implications \/ Conclusions:<\/strong> When the author proves a point (central idea) he\/ she\u00a0sometimes enumerates some consequences.\u00a0Note that these are not always present, but when they are, they hold importance.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reading_Comprehension_Choosing_the_Correct_Answer\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Reading Comprehension: Choosing the Correct Answer<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For most RC questions, before you mark a choice as your answer, make sure of the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In the answer choice, every word must be true within the context of the passage. For instance,\u00a0two options seem like the correct choice, but one uses the word <strong>British<\/strong> and the other uses<strong> The Queen<\/strong> when India&#8217;s colonial period is being discussed. Now if the passage\u00a0does not mention the queen in this particular context then that answer choice cannot be justified.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u00a0Always second guess answer choices that use words like: never, always, everyone etc. as these tend to broaden the\u00a0scope of the passage and make it much too extreme which\u00a0may not\u00a0be in congruence with the passage.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hope these strategies help you score better in your reading comprehensions. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveboard.in\/ibps-po\/?ref=blogdc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Take a quick test here to check your progress.<\/a> Do comment with your feedback and queries if any.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to &#8220;Reading Comprehension&#8221;, it is a well-known fact that it is the most important question type in<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,31,54,52,1212,62,407,65,45,3,66,53,2586,601,466,44,320,33,209,2],"tags":[2862,2869,1824,2571,2863,2864,2860,780,2861,2868,2865,2866,93,2867],"class_list":["post-12260","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-articles","category-bank-exams","category-cat","category-cmat","category-featured","category-government-exams","category-ibps-clerk","category-ibps-po","category-ibps-so","category-mba-exams","category-mhcet","category-nmat","category-notes","category-other-banking","category-other-gov-exams","category-other-mba-exams","category-rbi-grade-b","category-sbi-po","category-snap","category-exam-hacks","tag-banking-exam-reading-comprehension","tag-english-language-guide-tips-tricks","tag-english-language-preparation","tag-english-language-preparation-strategy","tag-government-exam-reading-comprehension","tag-mba-exams-reading-comprehension","tag-rc","tag-reading-comprehension","tag-reading-comprehension-english-language","tag-reading-comprehension-guide","tag-reading-comprehension-preparation","tag-reading-comprehension-strategy","tag-reading-comprehension-tips","tag-reading-comprehension-tricks","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-50"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v26.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How To Increase Reading Comprehension Scores: Banking &amp;
