And even if you are do read it once and also do go through all the options before choosing the best one. Even if you have familiarity with the passage do read it once and answer the questions on the basis of what is implied and stated in the passage. The RCs can be rewarding if you actually understood the passage. So take some time to understand the meaning of the passage. Focus on keywords and phrases. It has been seen that the RCs over the years have been easy in NMAT.
- Tips for Verbal Ability: For questions on Sentence correction remember you can easily eliminate the options if you find a sentence that is grammatical or structurally incorrect. Even the reverse may help you. For example, you may find that certain sentences will be correct grammatically. Therefore, it becomes easier for you to identify the incorrect options. Do read the entire sentence and understand the idea it wants to convey. Read the answer choices carefully. For questions on Para Jumbles, one needs to identify the opening and closing statements. Once that is done look for the mandatory pairing or linking. Try building a logical sequencing. In para jumbles questions one can look for transitory words. They help you identify the flow of sentences in a logical manner. Focus on the vocabulary part of this section. Over the past years, a lot of High-Frequency words have been asked.
- Tips for Critical Reasoning: While attempting the critical reasoning questions it is important that you have a clear understanding of the fact, assumption, argument, and inference. Read all the options and then come to a conclusion rather than assuming that a particular option is correct without going through all the options. Firstly understand what has been asked in the question.
- No negative marking: As there is no negative marking the best strategy would be to attempt all the questions. However, one may also not compromise with accuracy. Since the questions asked in this section are of easy to moderate difficulty level one may attempt maximum questions.
So, all the best for your preparation for NMAT 2022.
