Verbal Reasoning: The Basics 
The Verbal Reasoning section is designed to test your ability to read, comprehend, and evaluate written material using
your logical reasoning and critical thinking skills. This section also measures your understanding of sentence structure,
punctuation, and proper use of vocabulary. 
The questions are presented in various forms, from short sentences to multi-
paragraph passages. Two scored Verbal
Reasoning sections will appear in any order on the exam following the Analytical Writing section. You will have 30 
minutes to complete each section. Each section on the computer-
adapted exam consists of 20 questions. 
Why Is This Section Important? 
Graduate programs use your performance on the Verbal Reasoning section to evaluate your critical thinking ability,
analytical skills, and aptitude for using context and logical reasoning to infer meaning from written material. These skills
are critical to successfully navigating graduate-
level work. Graduate programs use your scores along with your application
materials to assess whether you are a fit for graduate-level study. 
Scoring and Computer-Adaptive Testing 

---

The Verbal Reasoning section is scored on a scale of 130−170, in one-
point increments. A 170 is the highest possible
score. The score reflects your combined Verbal Reasoning performance. You will not receive a separate score for each
verbal section. 
When taking the computer exam, you are able to answer questions in each section in any order you wish. You can skip
questions or use the built-
in system tools to mark a question for review. You can then come back to it later as time
permits. As we discussed earlier, the difficulty of your second scored section of Verbal Reasoning is determined by your
performance on your first section. The Verbal Reasoning chapters of this book will outline strategies to help you manage
your time, understand the question tasks, and deploy various strategies to optimize your Verbal Reasoning score.
