verbal reasoning

okay, so i just did the verbal reasoning practice test on the website, and i did the verbal reasoning practice in the "preparing for bmat and ukcat" book.

The test in the book is much much harder. So how does it compare to the real ukcat exam?

OMG, I did the verbal reasoning ones from the UKCAT/BMAT book and found them really hard compared to those from the UKCAT website. Hope the actual ones isn't that bad!

The book is bullcrap. I got 11/30 in it and got 780 in the exam.

The questions range from misleading to simply wrong to defying the whole rules of the test. While the book is fairly good on the other sections the verbal reasoning section in the state presented shouldn't have made it past the first draft.

If you get a low score, you're probably doing it right
