01Question types in the verbal section
Analogies
Two words with a relationship between them; choose the pair with the same relationship: part to whole, cause and effect, tool and function, opposites, degree. The key: state the relationship in a short sentence, then test it on each option.
Sentence completion
A sentence with one or two blanks; choose the words that complete the meaning logically. Watch the connectors (but, therefore, although) — they set the direction of the meaning.
Contextual error
A sentence containing one word that does not fit the overall meaning. Read the whole sentence first to understand the intent, then look for the word that contradicts it.
Reading comprehension
A passage followed by several questions: the main idea, the meaning of a word in context, what can be inferred, or a suitable title. Read the questions before the passage so you know what to look for.
Odd one out
Four words, three of which share a common meaning; identify the one that does not belong.

FAQ
Is the verbal section easier than the quantitative?
It depends on the student. Verbal needs vocabulary and careful reading; quantitative needs formulas and speed. The platform shows your percentage in each section so you know where to focus.
How do I practise analogies?
Define the relationship between the two words in a short sentence, then test every option with the same sentence. Mistakes usually come from picking a pair with a similar but not identical relationship.
