Hey, I have a question on how to review verbal after doing the passages in the book (like the post-game analysis of mistakes); I understand that going over the answers (right & wrong) is the best way to improve, but what exactly do I look for in verbal? For example, if it was like Physical sciences, when I study the explainations, I can see what I missed & did not understand based on my lack of understanding in a certain topic in physics.
But for verbal, when i read the explainations the most I get is "Oh duh, should have seen the 'might' or 'dang that was the other choice I narrowed down to and got it wrong again...'" and once in a while I get a "wtf, I still don't understand why this answer is better. Needs a better explaination". But most of the time when I go over verbal, I am not sure what to take away....am I approaching this wrong? Is it just "do 35209872985 passages and you will gain the holy verbal intuition"?
I have a verbal strategy and have just been practicing passages (almost done w/EK101 & will jump to BR Verbal after) so I am consistently scoring around 9-10 (a few 8s on a few verbal sets I got too self-confident on.....) on the EK passages....I feel like I can improve to be consistently 10 and hopefully break 11, but just want to know if there is a better way to do my post-passage review.
OH and btw, after I finish EK101, what is another good practice for verbal? Is the BR good? The book looks pretty big!
Thanks!
