On verbal, my tips would be to really focus on the reading comp - you can get those. On the analogies or antonyms, you either know the word or you dont, so just make the quick guess and move on. <br /><br />For math, the most problems I saw were ones that involved "X, Y and Z are consequtive positive integers" and then the two columns using those variables. So it was a lot of making up numbers to plug into see if A or B was greater (or = or unknown). I would say I saw those more than any other type of questions, so maybe focus your energies on those. Also, the charts tend to be easier to solve, so spend a bit more time there. <br /><br />Hope it helps. Its a tough test. Not a simulation of real life in the least! <br /><br />P&PT for you on Weds!Jennhttp://gradschoolmama2010.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
