Normal practice, or a Simulated test

Both use the same questions. Normal practice is untimed and needs no account: choose an option and the answer and solution appear at once. The Simulated test is the real computer-based format, with one 90-minute clock, a question palette and full screen, and your score, the key and the solutions arrive when you submit.

  • Splitting your study time: out of every 10 study sessions on this section, about 4 for the first group and 6 for the leave-for-last group.

Verbal Ability

  • Begin with Idioms & Phrases, Reading Comprehension and Fill in the Blanks. These carry about 61% of the questions, which makes them the best place for your first study sessions.
  • Keep in rotation: Word Usage & Swap, Sentence Improvement, Para Completion and Para Jumbles, a steady 39% that rewards regular practice once the first group feels comfortable.
  • Splitting your study time: out of every 10 study sessions on this section, about 6 for the first group and 4 for the keep-in-rotation group.
