Hi readers! I may not be a familiar person to most of you. I am Santosh Lakshman and am the other person behind BITSexam who works along with my friend Arvind. Today, I am going to give you some tips on how to crack English in BITSAT English & Logical Reasoning part.
As Arvind pointed out in his numerous blog posts earlier, BITSAT is a pretty straight forward exam with not much of lengthy problems or so, but instead with some what tricky questions. This principle behind BITSAT exams is one of the reasons for it containing English and Logical Reasoning in its Exam, as opposed to other Engineering entrance exams like IIT JEE and AIEEE. Another reason for BITS introducing English is because, BITS stresses highly on communication skills and aims to see you as the one with great crowd attracting skills.That is the reason why in any group of professionals, a BITSian is most probably the person who stands out.
Since most of us are spoon-fed with just technical knowledge and have neglected Languages and arts since childhood, English and Logical Reasoning seems like the most difficult of all the sections in BITSAT. This section has 25 questions overall and 15 questions are from English while 10 are from Logical Reasoning. I am sure, it will be very difficult to dramatically improve your language skills within this short span of time. Hence, its better you concentrate on some important concepts and models of questions.
I am going to divide this into two blogpost series- in this first one, I will explain what are the types of questions you can expect to see in your BISAT exam.In the second post, I will try to give you lessons on how to prepare for them and some good resources for that.
BITSAT English (for that matter any English related competitive exam), most of the times, comprises of 4 models of questions.They are :
Jumbled Paragraphs: Jumbled Paragraphs are those kind of questions, where they take 4 or 5 sentences in a paragraph and jumble them. You have to predict the correct order of the sentences in the paragraph.
Questions on Essay: Here they give you an essay/paragraph for reading and ask you questions based on the paragraph. This type of questions in BITSAT are becoming difficult year-by-year and may not be as simple as you think they might be.
