Tips for verbal reasoning:

Read the question first – don’t try to ready the whole passage – find the key words- then answer it

Find key information – eg . statistic, date, country, time etc.

Don’t be scared to used the cant tell button – it may be the answer

Look out for :

 extreme words – eg. – always, definitely, never


 Mild word – eg – sometimes, might, could

Check the language used in questions and in the passage – may use diff words to catch you out

Specifically for VR – time manage – only 30 secs to answer each questions – use your time wisely

Either flag your ques or guess

Don’t check the question a million times

Don’t use outside knowledge – eg . the question may say is the sky blue – from your knowledge it is
true but in the passage it may have not mentioned the colour of the sky or given another colour – in
this case the statement is false.

The only reason why you put true option in the VR section if the passage mentions it
