Reading Comprehension (also known as Critical Reading) questions test your ability to understand a passage and answer questions on the basis of what is stated and implied in the passage. You need to read the passage first so that you can identify the main idea of the passage and appreciate features such as the author's tone and attitude as well as the organization of the passage. Scroll back to the relevant point in the text as you do each question.
Passages on the Competitive Exams like Banks (IBPS, SBI, Others), SAT, MAT, GRE, CAT and SSC vary in length from short paragraphs that take 3 minutes to read and answer two questions, to ones that take 15 minutes to read and answer 10 questions. One section will contain two related long passages.
Be sure to read the directions at the beginning of your test, so that you wont make any mistakes and wastage of time during your exam.

There is no shortcut to improving your critical reading ability. Practice does help - but if you are making too many errors on our mini tests, consult your teacher or just choose some good books and get down to some serious reading.
Directions
