Hi,
Can someone help me with a methodology/shortcut/process, if any, to tackle literature based passages.
I completely fail to understand such passages and in turn end up giving all the wrong answers. This goes for any sort of CR passage as well.
TIA

Hi
archimaitreya25,
I am sorry to say but actually there is no shortcut. Even I had similar problem. We loose our interest while reading such passages or there is lot of information in the passage for us to consume/ process in our mind. But with continuous practice you can improve and get better on it.
I would recommend something that I try on my own and it works more often than not.
1) Develop interest in the subject (Passage).
2) Try to predict: what author is saying now, what can he talk about in the next passage. Such proactive approach will keep your interested in the subject.
You can also visit here in GMAT Club: FORUM -> GMAT VERBAL -> READING COMPREHENSION -> explore some topics here.
You will get many useful information. And if you have any queries, you can always post it in this forum. Many experts are available to help you understand the context and approach to questions
Also I am providing some of the links that I am finding useful. Here you go.
