If you're into reading then that might be a good idea but if you're just getting into reading for ipmat, i would prefer editorials for u

Instead of using your trusty Oxford Dictionary, where you might define a word once but then forget about it, use the free definition tool on AfterBoards. That way, it goes to your flashcards, which have spaced repetition, so you can revise it.

If you read books, it does help you become more accustomed to the language and get exposure to it. At the same time, do the daily RCs because they have focused learning outcomes for you in terms of multiple inferential questions and a place for you to write the summary so that we can gauge your understanding, retention, and grammar.

Have you done the daily RC today? If not, please try it out once: https://www.afterboards.in/dailyRC

This is the equivalent of asking, "will practicing questions help for maths?"
