So is it just me or has anyone else noticed that those who do bad in verbal have a very easy time with physical sciences? and vice versa? All of my friends have had either one of these conditions. Those who scored well in physics rather easily (including myself) did poorly in verbal. If they did really well in verbal (11+) they had a very difficult time with physical sciences. Am I looking at this wrong or is there anything to gain from this? (lets exclude those people who do well in both sections from the start)
Another thing I wanted to ask about is the transition from physical sciences to verbal during a practice test. This past week, I have done fine on verbal passages (getting 1 or 2 ques wrong / passage within time limit). However, when I did some physical sci. passages before hand, my verbal scores always went down by some degree. However, my bio skills remained stagnant and high the entire time. This has also reflected on the practice exams I have done. Does the transition from physical sciences to verbal have something to do with my poor performance on verbal reasoning? Has anyone else noticed this or am I just making excuses?
My plan is to study for physical sciences and verbal reasoning back to back with no break in between. I am going to do practice several physics passages followed by verbal passages. I am going to see if I can get use to a verbal section after a physical science passage so I stop choking on practice exams.
Also, does anyone know good techniques to reduce anxiety?
