Ways to Increase Accuracy in Reading Comprehension Questions for CLAT?

Let’s imagine you’re reading a storybook.

Reading Comprehension is like a game that tests how well you understand the story. In the game, you must answer questions about the story to show you understand what happened.

To increase your accuracy in the game, you can do a few things.

Read many different things

Practice reading different kinds of stuff like newspapers, magazines and articles. This will help you get better at understanding different types of writing.

Pay attention while reading

Try to focus on the main ideas and important details. Think about how the information is organised in the passage.

Understand the different types of questions

There are different questions in reading comprehension, like questions about the main idea, what the author thinks and finding specific details. Make sure you understand what each question is asking.

Look at the questions first 

Before reading the passage, take a quick look at the questions. This will give you an idea of what to look for while reading.

Mark important parts of the passage

As you read, underline or highlight important information related to the questions. This will make it easier to find the right answers later.

Take notes while reading

Write down key points or summarise each paragraph as you read. This will help you remember important details when you answer the questions.

Manage your time

Using your time wisely during the test is important. Decide how much time you’ll spend on each passage and stick to your plan.

Get rid of wrong answers

If you need more clarification, try eliminating any obviously wrong options. This will improve your chances of choosing the right answer.

Learn from your mistakes

After practising or taking a mock test, go back and see what you got wrong. Try to understand why you made those mistakes and learn from them.

Ask for help if needed

If you’re struggling with reading comprehension, feel free to ask a teacher or someone who knows about the CLAT for help. They can give you tips and advice to improve.

Remember, practising regularly and understanding what you read is important for doing well in reading comprehension questions. 

Keep trying your best, and you’ll get better over time!
