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.
