Like GMAT Focus Quant, GMAT Focus Verbal is Logic-based
Many people find GMAT Focus Verbal challenging at first and don’t see a path to mastery of it, often because GMAT Focus Verbal seems so different from anything that they have succeeded at before.
This perception of GMAT Focus Verbal as something only “other people” can handle is not really right, as I have pointed out to many students and test-takers. In fact, GMAT Focus Verbal questions are actually similar to math questions in a way, in that finding their correct answers requires noticing key details and using tight logic. Is that something you can learn to do? Of course it is.
You could think of GMAT Focus Verbal this way: Critical Reasoning involves seeing the logic, or lack thereof, of arguments, something anyone can learn to do. Getting Reading Comprehension questions right largely comes down to being careful to notice what passages do and do not say.
There is no mystery here, no special ability that some people have and others don’t. With some studying of rules and some practice, you too can learn to see which verbal answers make the most sense, and you can make the verbal section part of your GMAT Focus success story.
A wide range of simple yet effective strategies for mastering GMAT Focus Verbal can help you become a veritable verbal maven!
