progress in verbal reasoning

Hello!

In my case, the best is to make a quick reading that can help me to locate the answers in the text later. However, once I have located the answers, I have to read that parts of the text carefully again. After doing a lot of tests I feel able to recognize some answers that, since the first moment seem to be false in the way that they are giving you the words "always" or "never"...or they refer to different verbal tenses...for example...however, I think echone has their own way to improve, it is a matter of knowing yourself and what are the best practices for you. In my case it happends the same....I am not able to have less than 4 wrong questions...and I get very bored in the middle of the 35 minutes....

Hi, Teresa.

Thanks so much for sharing your experience with me and for the tips. If you manage to have only 4 questions wrong, I think you're on the right track. My results are not that good.
How long did it take you to get to the level where you are now in the verbal reasoning, and how many hours a week do you practice?

That's right, Teresa. After 10-12 questions I feel I'm very tired and I can't focus on other questions enough. Even coffee can't help me ;)
