16. VERBAL REVIEW
17. VERBAL SKILLS: SECTION 1 Reading Comprehension Understanding the meaning of individual words, sentences, paragraphs and larger bodies of text Summarizing a passage Drawing conclusions from the information provided, reasoning from incomplete data to infer missing information Understanding the structure of a text in terms of how the parts relate to one another Identifying the author's assumptions and perspective Analyzing a text and reaching conclusions about it Identifying strengths and weaknesses of a position Developing and considering alternative explanations
18. VERBAL SKILLS: SECTION 2 Text completion: Passage composed of one to five sentences One to three blanks Three answer choices per blank (five answer choices in the case of a single blank) The answer choices for different blanks function independently; i.e., selecting one answer choice for one blank does not affect what answer choices you can select for another blank Single correct answer, consisting of one choice for each blank; no credit for partially correct answers
19. VERBAL SKILLS: SECTION 3 Sentence Equivalence: Questions in this section test the ability to reach a conclusion about how a passage should be completed on the basis of partial information, but to a greater extent they focus on the meaning of the completed whole. Questions include a single sentence, one blank to be filled, six answer choices and selection of  two of the answer choices, with no credit for partially correct answers. Module focuses on familiarizing students with question structure and tips for approaching the questions and answering them.
