It is essential to be proficient in reading comprehension in order to attempt any question with ease. Below are the reading comprehension techniques for CLAT to help you score good marks in CLAT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Simplify the Passage<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The passages in CLAT are generally complex in nature. All you need to do is to summarise each paragraph in the passage. Try to split or divide the passage naturally and then make a summary of each paragraph. By deconstructing the passage, you can get the understanding of the complex passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After making a summary of each paragraph, try to relate the theme of the passage for better understanding about what the author of the passage is speaking about. Suppose, you know about the theme of the passage then try to relate with it. It will facilitate the passage. But do remember, do not mix your previous knowledge about the theme of the passage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Understand Scope of the Passage&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another technique that you can follow is to understand the scope of the passage. Make sure that you confine yourself to the information given in the passage and do not use any external information. Remember that you do not generalise the information given in the passage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Be an Active Reader&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To ace in CLAT reading comprehension, you have to be an active reader, rather than a passive reader. By an active reader, we mean that while reading the passage, you should constantly question why and how the author has written.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should not plainly read the words, instead focus on the idea of the author in the passage. Try to understand the main element or context of the passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Identify Author\u2019s Opinion&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to identify the author\u2019s opinion. In many instances, the author may refer to the facts or another person\u2019s point of view.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those may not be the author&#8217;s point of view. Once you can identify the author&#8217;s point of view, you can understand the tone of the passage or the purpose of the arguments or statements mentioned by the author in the passage. Pay importance to the facts and judgments made in the passage by the author.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Also Read: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/clat\/preparation\/gk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLAT GK Preparation<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Elimination of Options&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the techniques of answering reading comprehension for CLAT exam is by eliminating the options. Do not be in haste while solving questions. See the options given in the question carefully.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The options given in reading comprehension are close to one another. It often leads to a state of confusion while choosing&nbsp; the correct option. Eliminate the options that are irrelevant, out of scope, factually wrong, vague or misleading, contain flaw or contrary to the passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Enhancing Reading Speed&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enhancing your skill in reading comprehension for CLAT is an art. You should read the passage with speed but not at the cost of accuracy. You should balance speed with quality of comprehension.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Know when to read consciously. Make sure that the beginning or ending of the passage is very important. Beginning of the passage will give you the background or main idea of the passage and ending of the passage will acknowledge you about the conclusion of the passage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Read Regularly&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Make reading a habit. Habitual reading passages would enhance your reading skill and make you understand better as reading regularly would enhance your overall knowledge. Read newspapers on a regular basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Increase Vocabulary&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another technique to enhance your CLAT reading comprehension is by increasing your vocabulary. Whenever you read a passage and come across a new term, make sure that you learn its meaning. This will enhance your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/clat\/improve-vocabulary\/\">vocabulary in CLAT Exam<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-background\"><strong>Useful Resources for You:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/clat-english-questions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLAT English Questions<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/clat-english-syllabus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>CLAT English Syllabus<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-vivid-red-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-ad7e7e0175329ad97f7a00b912390e28\"><strong>Common Mistakes to Avoid in Reading Comprehension for CLAT<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. No Overthinking&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another technique for CLAT reading comprehension is that you should never over-think. This means that while reading the passage, your preconceived notion should not interfere. Do not go beyond the point. Stick to the idea of the author.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Avoid Regression&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It means to re-read passages or sentences. Avoid reading the sentences again and again. It happens because of lack of concentration. Read regularly with consistency and to enhance your stamina and concentration while reading passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Avoid Reading Similar Passage&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading diverse material helps you to read faster. Avoid reading similar discipline or style of writing passage. Reading similar types of passages would make you comfortable in one discipline only and make it difficult for you to read and understand passages of different context or background.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Not Reading the Full Question<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You should avoid reading part of the question or the options. Misinterpretation or overlooking negatives (like \u2018not,\u2019 \u2018except\u2019) can lead to incorrect answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Overemphasis on Speed<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoid over-emphasis on speed. While time management is crucial, overly rapid reading can lead to misinterpretation or missing out on key details. Strive for a balance between speed and comprehension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Do Not Panic&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you do not know the meaning of certain terms mentioned in the passage. Do not worry about it. Avoid panicking in the exam.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you follow the reading comprehension techniques for CLAT mentioned above and avoid the mistakes while attempting reading comprehension questions, you can improve your skill in this section of the CLAT. Remember, if you can improve your reading comprehension skill, you can improve your chances to get admission in NLU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawpreptutorial.com\/blog\/clat\/improve-reading-speed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Improve Reading Speed for CLAT<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CLAT reading comprehension is one such section that by regularly practising you can easily increase your total marks.
