If you have observed the past 2 years questions from this section, you will notice that those were asked from a range of topics. Although nothing can be predicted for the forthcoming exam but you definitely get a hint of previous year questions. Like in a majority of competitive exams, RC is one of the most important topics in this exam. Next comes the Cloze Test from which a good number of questions were asked. Like previously asserted, you will have to walk on a tightrope maintaining speed and accuracy to get the maximum marks in this section. Needless to say, you need to practice a lot in these remaining 4 days and Mock Tests are the best tool to practice. Take a Free Mock Test today and spot the topics in which you didn’t perform properly. Let’s have a look at some tips you should adopt while doing the revision for English Language.

Tips for English Language Revision

• Make a comprehensive revision plan for this section. Ensure that you revise all the topics (especially the ones which have appeared in previous years’ exams). Devote a specific time for the day to practice questions for the English Langauge. If you want to practice via topic-wise quizzes, use our platform where topic-wise quizzes are updated on a daily basis.
• As highlighted by Mock Tests’ analysis, focus more on your weak areas. This is an area which might seem uninteresting to you. But try to stay focussed and look at the detailed solutions of the mock tests to understand why & where are you getting the question wrong. Try clarifying your basic concepts by watching online videos. Remember, there is no better time than now to focus on the weak areas as these weak areas can give a good push to your score.

• Try taking out some time to read a good newspaper’s editorial on a daily basis. Not only it will freshen up your mood from the routine boredom of practising, but it will also help you in learning new words and understanding different forms of sentences.
• Solve a lot of Mock Tests and try different strategies when attempting RC questions. Some people skim the paragraph quickly and then look at the questions while others look at the questions first before looking at the paragraph. See what works for you and use the same strategy in the actual exam.
• When solving Cloze Test questions, try eliminating the options first and then select the correct answer. Vocabulary plays an important role here but the contextual sense is equally important. Practice a lot of questions via Mock Tests and make a note of new words.
• Revise the grammar rules of active & passive voice, articles, tenses, subject-verb agreement etc. which will help you in questions of Error Detection & Sentence Improvement.
• If you’ve been revising your vocabulary via flashcards, continue the revision. Vocabulary comes handy in a majority of topics in this section.
