souljaboy Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Whats your score right now. Going from a 8 to 12 is a lot different than going from 11 to 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverbullet1 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 To be fair, he said he wanted >12, or greater than 12, therefore at least 13. Your point still stands, but while we are on the topic of verbal reasoning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jock2doc Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Going from a 12 and 13 is usually 1-2 questions thanks to VR's brutal scale. What a crappy section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee723 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I don't think there's any way to prep other than reading a lot. After reading every paragraph make sure you understand it before moving on to the next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading every paragraph make sure you understand it before moving on to the next one. For the test, I read every passage very hard, make sure I understand it before I answer the question, but the last passage I had like 4mins, so had guessed a bit. But then if I read too fast I may not do as well on earlier passages. Big dilemma here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 10 and 5 months until test day you should have plenty of time to reach your goal. Like I said though, VR has such a tough scale that the difference from 13-11 can be as little as 3 wrong questions. I scored a 12 on VR but some of my practice tests were better, others were worse. What study materials are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziweiwu Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2013 The only material I used for studying VR was examcracker 1001 questions. I also have TBR verbal book but didn't use it.
