Good vocabulary leads to a good score in the VARC section. While the RC section tests the vocabulary with questions such as synonyms, antonyms, word meanings and comprehension, the other questions in the section, too, are based on vocabulary. For example, questions based on relationships, such as,

Vapid:_____:: rapid:swift

a. inspired b. turgid

c. wet d. insipid

Without knowing the meaning of these terms, the candidate is unlikely to understand the relationship between the words. The answer to this insipid. Just as rapid is another word for swift, vapid is another word for insipid. The section has many more such questions based purely on vocabulary. While in some cases, it might be possible to guess the meaning of the words by looking at the context, there will be questions where you will not be able to make any guess and will have to be sure of the meaning.

A good vocabulary, therefore, is the key to a good score in the VARC section.
