I am an avid reader, but idk why these long passages just bore me out and I start to yawn in between and it helps me lose my focus at the earliest 🥲
Do you read a lot of fiction? I’m not a master here but imo, reading fiction won’t help much...high quality non-fiction reading might help...maybe opinion pieces, think tank articles etc

> Hi - My exam is scheduled for 13 July. My quants is at 83, verbal at 80 and DI at 79. Can someone guide what steps do I take to firstly get rid of my silly mistakes, and how to not lose focus while attempting the long passages in RC. In CR I identify the right conclusion, and end up with two answers (the correct and incorrect one) and sometimes end up marking the wrong one. When I mark the incorrect one, I subconsciously know I am marking the incorrect one and yet I end up doing the honour. Any type of assistance would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
Hi Rishabh

Getting rid of silly errors is not easy and any method I say might seem funny at time but it works

1) You must make an error log for every mock test taken. Make a grid writing the type of mistakes you did such as {Careless reading, Calculation error, clicking wring answer, missing a word, using my own imagination, Don’t know how to do}

Against these mistakes, write down in each test how many mistakes of each type you are making.

2) Go through this log every time you take the next mock test even for 2 mins but read it like a medicine before test and then take next mock test.

If you make your brain conscious enough to notice the types of mistakes you made in previous test, it’s likely that you conscious brain will help you avoid those mistakes in the next one.

To conquer RC, the only good way is to start reading books… Read a book that you like by subject and try to read it at any pace slightly faster than your usual pace. After 1-2 books, I think you concentration should be good. Try to read 50 pages every day thinking it’s RC practice. It helps many
Have been doing this it seems 80% of my errors are calculation erros or careless reading /missing reading.

Not sure how to fix it.

same here, specially in DI and some in quants
What works for me is that I read the question stem completely and glance at the options before writing down my calculations. This helps to avoid unnecessary memory overload while doing calculations

No you can’t

Each mock test can be attempted once only

Retake if you think re-take can give you 685 or more
