1. Extensive Reading Practice Novels atleast 15 to 16 over a period of 8 months. This will also help in
developing Grammar Skills
2. Vocabulary Learn 20 new words daily starting from 6 months prior CMAT. Try using these words in
whatever you say throughout that particular day.
3. Revise Grammar - Back to School Text Books
4. Mock CMAT: It is important to take as many mock CMATs as possible so that time Management and
other test taking strategies are in place before the actual CMAT.
Above all Lots of Discipline. Verbal sections does not require rigorous practice, it requires REGULAR
practice.
