Default Diagnostic Test - Verbal

I just got annihilation on my diagnostic verbal score. I was definitely rusty on some of my BS and PS content, but VR was horrid. My breakdown was PS: 11, BS: 10, VR: 5. Did anyone find the VR reasonable but then got owned.... Somewhat discouraging to say the very least.

If it makes you feel any better, I started out with a 4 xD... But now I am scoring 10s on the old Kaplan FLs (I don't know how different they are from the new Kaplan tests)

IMO, verbal is definitely the hardest section. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE!!!! i was doing 3-4 passages a day the 3 months I studied and scored a 10 on my retake after scoring a 6 the first time around. It is doable, but it definitely requires that you work at it!!

@Indianjatt,

That is completely reasonable. I had a student I taught this spring that had went from a 4 to a 10 on the real thing! Practice is the name of the game. Be sure to focus on the Kaplan Verbal section tests!
