Hey Sowmiya, a lot of students face the same issue as you when it comes to the verbal section. Ideally, you should look to bring down the time taken to solve a RC from 12-14 mins to 8-10 mins. You could start by reading articles and timing yourself. Eventually, you will see your reading speed improving. Try taking notes of the important points in RCs so that you don't have to go back to the passage while answering questions. Finally, try not to overthink over a particular question, just stick to your initial instincts while answering a question or skip the question and move forward to the next question. Try these tips out and hopefully these tips help you overcome your drawback in the verbal section. At the same time, please remember that if you solve 3 RCs of 4 questions and get them all correct, you get 36 marks, which was the 99th percentile in CAT 2021. So you need to focus on accuracy as well as speed.
