Verbal Strategies

[BoyGenius]

I have read the EK, TPR, and Kaplan verbal strategies and found them to be unreasonably unhelpful because they don't seem to account for time or the breaking of concentration by annotating passages.
Is there such a thing as verbal strategies or does sucess on the verbal section simply require reading and answering the questions.

You are simply wrong about EK's verbal strategy. In their Verbal Reasoning Study Guide, they address the time issue quite explicitly and tell you to tackle the passages in order and to not dwell on questions in order to finish on time. Their other advice includes not going back to the passage while answering the questions and to glean the main idea from the passage in order to figure the best answer, all their strategies revolve around the fact that this section is the most time intensive section!!!!!!!! Follow their advice when you practice and you will surely do better.

[Un]fortunately it's that simple. Are you going back to understand why you made mistakes?
