Reading comprehension solving is a skill. It is different from literature in the sense that it is independent of interpretation. There is no subjectivity in RC questions. The art of solving can be learnt by mastering the topic at three levels – The ability to read, to eliminate options and to build mistake patterns to learn from them. These three levels lie at the core of "Algorithmic Reading Comprehension" – an approach to build expertise in RC solving. This approach was created by my team and me over the past 6 years of training thousands of students for the Reading comprehension section for CAT-GMAT and other aptitude-based entrance examinations. The book deals with two major aspects of reading, "Central Idea" and "Contextual Word Learning". It moves on to discuss the meaning of different question types asked across exams and provides elimination frameworks to tackle tricky options. Finally, students get many passages arranged in levels and then in a practice chapter to practice and to learn from. Welcome to the world of flawless RC learning!
