About the GMAT Verbal section
The Verbal section of the GMAT exam helps evaluate a candidate’s ability to synthesise and understand large amounts of material using reading comprehension, critical reasoning and sentence correction. The verbal section of the GMAT consists of 41 questions to be answered in 75 minutes.
A good piece of advice to truly prepare yourself for the GMAT verbal is to immerse yourself in diverse specialised texts in English. Read books, textbooks, magazines and newspapers on any topic that interests you. Plunge into fields of study new to you. Building a rich vocabulary and training your ability to comprehend complex texts quickly will help you a lot on the GMAT Verbal section.
Don’t forget about Standard English Grammar and idiomatic expressions. You will need them on the GMAT as well.
