well.. beta ji.. if we look at the last 3 years' of CAT score to percentile mapping, you would realize that a mere 30% score in CAT gives you a 95 percentile and a mere 25% score gives you 90 percentile. This basically tells us that 90% of the country skips 75% of the paper (either skips or get questions wrong). Now, what makes CAT such a low scoring exam? It is things like what you've asked - Language. The language employed in CAT can be tough, not only in the VARC section but also in the LRDI and QA section. I have seen students taking 3 minutes just to understand what a QA question meant. I have also seen students taking 10-12 minutes just to completely comprehend an LRDI set. Is there a solution to it? Nope. None. If any solution to this problem existed, CAT would not be such a low scoring test. There is one plain simple rule in CAT. If you can't comprehend something because the language is tougher than your comfort, simply skip it. Don't try to waste your time on it, after all, 90% of the students are going to skip more than 70% of the paper, so you can skip one question as well. But if actually want to reach that level (99 %ile) where you don't have to skip so many questions like the rest of the country, there is only one way - Read more than 99% of the country. Read difficult texts, elevate your English to the level of an expert and viola - the problem will be solved. Having said that, even after that - you might have to pick and choose because CAT can always make things more difficult than you have ever seen before. I have known enough 99 percentilers who had to skip questions because they were simply too tough. That's just the nature of CAT. Nobody in the country ever solves all the questions in this test. So, read more to improve and be ready to skip if the question is above your level. That's it.
