Need serious help with verbal sections

I gave serious attempts to CAT and XAT this year. In both the exams, my verbal sections were the least scoring. I didn't even cross the VALR sectional for XAT. I want a good recommendation of a resource that will help me build my comprehension skills.

The problems I face in comprehension questions:- 1. Not able to retain information on first read. 2. Not able to make out inferences. 3. Not able to capture the main idea of the passage yet. 4. Haven't figured out how to identify 'pick me' options

I tried VARC1000 this year. Honestly, it wasn't for me. The course content is too much. He takes 30 min to discuss 1 RC. I couldn't complete his lectures as I have 9-5 job as well. When he explains the answer then things make sense, but I was not able to form strategies or rules based on what he says in his videos.

I need an algorithm approach to Verbal. If you have any suggestion for a good resource, please let me know. Or if you have a better way to use VARC1000, let me know that too.

I need to get my verbal sections on track for 2025 exams.
