Facing problems in VA
So i have decided to take a partial drop. I gave some mocks and i have come to realise that my VA is weak,especially my vocabulary. I solve the daily RC,and I have Word Power Made Easy which i have been reading since a few days. I have been giving VA sectionals. I also got Wren and Martin, and pdf of arun sharma. All this resource has been kinda overwhelming me, and i don't really know how to approach VA on a daily and weekly basis . Any guidance would be of help

80% of Verbal Ability improvement comes from analysis & contrasting thought patterns. The remaining comes from your hygiene factors of basic conceptual knowledge (grammar, vocab and more).
At the same time, just attempting 100 VA questions wouldn't make you better at the topic (unlike maths). Here, you need to conduct the 5-why analysis.

Also, share more details about how much you're scoring, how you're analysing and more!
i scored 106 in ipmat indore this year.
Attaching some screenshots of my scores from mocks i gave and of daily RCs. While analysing the questions, i usually go through all my questions, i crossquestion why i got something wrong and why i got something right. I usually jot down any phrase/idiom which seems new to me.
Yes, you'll need to do the 5-why analysis! Do go through the document that I've linked in my initial comment! Plus, don't compare the absolute marks of sectionals, everything is relative!
I did go through it, thanks for sharing it
Alright.
