7) Parallelism - Most dreaded topic of SC; to-to, prepositional phrase-prepositional phrase, Verb-Verb; Parallel items shd be logical & coherent.
8) Parallelism - Always look for meaning; When to use Verb-ing & when to make a parallel list, be Careful.
Reading Comprehension:
1) Converge your full attention as soon as you see a passage; Remember your next 5 mins can increase/decrease your score by 5 points; Incorrect passage understanding can cost you consecutive 3-4 questions, hope you know the penalty for consecutive wrongs.
2) After every paragraph make a summary, for ex: Para 1: Author is introducing an issue & describing it. Para 2: Causes of problem & current soln. Para 3: Issues with current soln & other solns
3) Make overall summary; Discuss an issue & issues with existing solns.
4) Always go for POE in RC; Read all the options carefully, you will definitely find an incorrect/overstating word. Go from wrong to right.
5) Be Cautious for whole 7-8 mins of an RC.
Critical Reasoning:
1)Identify the conclusion first; Goes in hindi : Are bhai kehna kya chahte ho.
2) Understand the meaning of Assumption, Strengthener, weakener & Evaluation.
3) Always use Negation test in Assumption question; Negation will shatter the conclusion.
4) In Strengthen question think what will increase my belief in the conclusion; Either it would be plug the assumption airtight or give a theory supporting conclusion.
5) In Weaken question think what will decrease my belief in the conclusion; Either it would be shatter the assumption airtight or give a theory opposing the conclusion or reverse the cause effect relationship.
6) BOLDFACE: identify what is it; A Claim(Opinion, Position, Conclusion(IM/MC)) , A fact, A solution or general statement. Next Identify what role does it play: Supports or opposes the Conclusion(IM/MC)
7) INFERENCE/FIB : Identify what is required; Strengthener or Weakener.
