verbal reasoning

two main question types:

1. reading comprehension qs (main type)- requires greater depth of reading

2. true/false/cant tell qs (about 2 sets)

Reference point:

by question 22 (halfway through the subset), the timer should be at about 10mins 30secs

Reading comprehension type Qs:

skills:

• critical reading
• inferences (using information to come to a conclusion)

Method:

1. read the statement/question

2. look at the answer responses

3. eliminate and select (difficult questions)

-take the same amount of time on these questions as the true/false ones.
-make a mental note of each part of the text e.i. what each part represents (like mini paragraphs)


Qualifiers:

• "some" means at least one
• "mostly"- may give clue that there are other parts/other ways of something, or a clue that it is more than another part

Useful books:

• "critical thinking-an introduction"
