If after 2 minutes on a CAT VARC RC passage you still cannot place the main idea, the recommended move is:
ASkip the questions and jump to the next passage
BSpend another 3 minutes re-reading the passage
CRead every paragraph aloud silently to yourself
DGuess all questions of that passage with option A
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Skip the questions and jump to the next passage
CAT VARC penalises wrong answers and rewards careful selection. The 4 marks lost on a skipped passage are better than 8 marks lost on wrong answers AND a missed easier set.
