The verbal portion of the test consists of three types of questions: Reading
Comprehension, Arguments, and Sentence Correction. They are designed to tes
t your ability to reason using the written word. There is roughly the same n
umber of each type of question, for a total of 41 questions.
READING COMPREHENSION
FORMAT
The GMAT reading comprehension section passages are about 200 to 400 words l

READING METHODS
Some books recommend speed-reading the passages. This is a mistake. Speed re

articles that have been condensed to about one-third their original length.
During this process no essential information is lost, just the fluff is cu

ch information. You should, however, read somewhat faster than you normally
do, but not to the point that your comprehension suffers. You will have to e
xperiment to find your optimum pace.
Many books recommend reading the questions before the passage. But there are
two big problems with this method. First, some of the questions are a parag

ere are up to seven questions per passage, and psychologists have shown that
we can hold in our minds a maximum of about three thoughts at any one time
(some of us have trouble simply remembering phone numbers). After reading al
l seven questions, the student will turn to the passage with his mind cloude
