Reading Comprehension is a tough section of the Civil Service Exam. Typically exam-takers put in a decent amount of work before seeing any improvements. The key—as is the case with much of Civil Service Exam prep—is patience.
What’s also one important thing to note is identifying exactly where you struggle with Reading Comprehension.
For some, their biggest impediment is the passage itself. For others, the passage isn’t too much of an issue; it is how the answer choices are worded that trips them up. And for many, both the passage and questions are stumbling blocks.
To improve at the passages, start breaking the passage down in your head as you read it. A good strategy is making mini-paragraph summaries in your head. Think of it as a quick mental snapshot. By the end of the passage, you should already have understanding of the main points of the passage or of the paragraph.
For the questions, make sure not to just dive into the answer choices– as we suggest and mention in the general strategies to the verbal section above. Think about the question by going back to the passage and rereading the relevant part of the passage.
Besides actually doing some practice passages, you can also improve at Reading Comprehension by improving your “reading brain.” Let me explain: when you are not used to reading dense, dry and difficult passages (which is what the CSE typically serves up) your brain balks at having to read a CSE passage– in timed conditions, no less.
Of course the passages aren’t the exact same as what you’ll find on the actual CSE. But the high-level of sophisticated prose and dense ideas will make one be more ready in getting a more right answers, hence high score!
