VerbalHub’s Proven RC Strategies for XAT

To master XAT Reading Comprehension, VerbalHub trains you in:

✔ Skimming for macro-understanding

Capture the central idea, structure & argument in 20–25 seconds.

✔ Scanning for micro-details

Locate facts, comparisons & definitions without re-reading the entire passage.

✔ Tone & Intent Identification

Understand whether the author is:

  • critical
  • analytical
  • reflective
  • persuasive
  • sarcastic
  • neutral

This is crucial for XAT’s tricky inference questions.

✔ Solving Poem-Based XAT RC

VerbalHub's specialized “Poetry Interpretation Framework” includes:

  • Imagery decoding
  • Theme extraction
  • Symbolism understanding
  • Tone & metaphor mapping

Most institutes ignore this area—VerbalHub makes it a scoring topic.

🚫 Over-reading passages

🚫 Guessing vocabulary questions

🚫 Misinterpreting abstract RC themes

🚫 Ignoring poem-based RC (a high-yield XAT favourite)
