Reading strategy for people who take reading seriously

Guides on Reading Comprehension, essay habits, and exam preparation for CAT, GMAT, XAT, SNAP, NMAT and IPMAT aspirants. No filler, no generic coaching-centre advice.

Most reading comprehension advice online is generic because it is written by people optimising for search traffic rather than for the reader sitting across from a CAT VARC mock test, wondering why their score will not move. This blog is written from inside that problem. GRADFLIX exists because building a daily reading habit across philosophy, economics, science and culture is the most reliable way to improve Reading Comprehension, and most aspirants have nowhere structured to do it. These guides cover the strategy. The essay library is where the actual daily practice happens.
