English Language Section –
Reasoning and Quant are the preferred sections of many students and English Language section is the one which is most avoided by many students. One needs to analyze one’s strengths while preparing for the English Language section. Some people are good at vocabulary and reading while others may be good at Grammar. If you are of the former type, you should attempt the Reading Comprehension and Cloze Test first along with Error Detection, Phrase Replacement, Double Fillers, etc. But if you are good at Grammar, attempt those questions first. The advantage of attempting more in English section is you can score more in lesser time in comparison to Quant and Reasoning. However, you have to improve on your accuracy in English.
