Tips for Questions with Verbal Reasoning passages
The verbal reasoning section will ask you to interpret information in a particular
passage. No matter what the question, the key is to know what the passage
actually says.
How To Do It
Here are some tips for handling questions with reading passages.
First
 Concentrate.
Put aside your worries and distractions. Get ready to get down to business!
 Don’t rely too much on prior knowledge.
Although you may know about the subject, the information that is presented will be
the source from which your answer should come.
Second
 Read the question first. Why read the question before the passage? Because
it saves time to know what you are reading for!
 Make sure you understand the question. What kind of information will you
need to gather when you read? Will you be looking for facts? Or will you be
using the passage to come up with your own answer?
 Read the passage. Read the passage as quickly as you can. Look for the
answer as you read. When you find it, take notice of it, but — and this is
important — don’t stop reading yet! Read to the end. That way you can be sure
that your answer is the best, most complete answer possible. If you are reading
the passage in order to provide a written response, read more carefully. Make
sure you understand everything.
Providing the answer.
Feel free to look back at the passage to double-check your answer.
If You Didn’t Find the Answer,
 Try again. Reread the question and the passage. Be sure you know what you
are being asked to think about, before you reread.
 Skip the question. If you still can’t find or figure out the answer, skip the
question. You can come back to it after you’ve finished the rest of the test
