Tackling Reading Comprehension


Reading comprehension could sound like an easy section, but believe it or not, it is the most challenging section of the Bank exam. The passages given in the test will not be simple and easy, but slightly complicated and hard to comprehend. Those who read books regularly will find themselves a little comfortable with the section as they can skim the contents of the passages quickly and efficiently. 

Those who are not used to reading novels or magazines are obviously at a disadvantage, so they could start preparation early and read magazines and books regularly for pleasure, which in turn will help them in the examination also. The reading comprehension questions usually contain topics like Science, History, Arts, Society, Literature,Banking etc. So, reading science journals, social magazines, newspapers and business magazines. To tackle the RC section with ease, one can always follow the four steps:
  1.  Read the first two lines of each paragraph.
  2. Note down the summary of it in 2-3 words.
  3. Make a list of summaries, so when you read a question, you will know which paragraph will contain the answer. 
  4. Use these summaries to form the title or inference of the passage.
