VARC 1000 2023 — Report (Gejo-2)
3. The 1000 Question Bank Rigor
The "1000" in the title is not a joke. The course provides a physical (or PDF) workbook containing:
- 400 RC passages (from diverse sources: philosophy, economics, natural sciences, literature)
- 300 Critical Reasoning questions (Assumption, Inference, Strengthen/Weaken, Paradox)
- 300 Verbal Ability questions (Jumbles, para-completion, odd sentence out)
What made the Gejo-2 batch special was the updated bank. While Gejo-1 used passages up to 2022, Gejo-2 incorporated passages from early 2023 foreign editorials (The Atlantic, The Guardian, Aeon), which are stylistically similar to modern CAT.

1. The "USP" – Why this book?
The standout feature of VARC 1000 is that it is not a grammar book. Unlike other popular resources (like Arun Sharma or Pearson), Gejo’s book does not waste pages on grammar rules or vocabulary lists. It operates on the premise that CAT checks logic and reading skills, not rote grammatical knowledge.
The book focuses entirely on:
- Reading Comprehension (RC) strategies.
- Paragraph summaries.
- Para jumbles and odd-sentence-out.
- Critical Reasoning.
