All Verbal Reasoning (VR) Notes

The exam content is divided into approximately 50% Reading Comprehension (RC) and 50% Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence (TC/SE). The section features a total of 20 questions based on Reading Comprehension passages, Text Completion (filling blanks with vocabulary), and Sentence Equivalence (selecting matching synonyms).
