If you're thinking of taking the SAT, you should know a few things about the Verbal Reasoning sections. The Basics of Verbal Reasoning The Verbal Reasoning sections of the SAT test your ability to understand logical relationships between pairs of words, to complete sentences with words that retain the meaning and structure of the sentence, and to understand, interpret, and analyze reading passages on a variety of topics. There are three types of verbal reasoning questions. The approximate number of each type is shown here: About 40 critical reading questions will produce about 50 percent of your score. The sections on analogies and sentence completion begin with easy questions and get more difficult. There is no such pattern for the critical reading passages or questions. The Basics of Analogy Questions You will have a total of about 19 analogy questions on the two verbal sections of the exam. In each question, you are given a related pair of words or phrases. Select the lettered pair that best expresses a relationship similar to that in the original pair. A few analogies can be found on our SAT I sample from the SAT I Preparation Guide. Questions and Key Strategies for Analogy Questions Here are a few of the strategies presented in the book: Know how the words are being used. For example, Park : City ::. Is the first word, park, a verb or a noun? All of the answer choices will have only nouns or only verbs, so look at the answer choices if you are unsure. Construct a sentence relating the two words. For example, Recipe : Cookbook ::. "A recipe is found in a cookbook." Then try each answer choice in the same sentence and find the one that works -- "A formula is found in a chemist." No.
