In this section, we will discuss approaches to the 5 VR question subtypes. Each subtype is introduced followed by our unique methods on tackling VR questions. Our strategy-driven teaching ensures you are fully equipped to excel in this section, providing extensive knowledge alongside practical examples. Topics covered include:

• Drawing conclusions from premises: understanding main conclusions vs. sub-conclusions.

• Identifying fallacious logic and distinguishing fallacies from facts within passages.

• Analysing complex language techniques such as juxtaposition, correlation, causation, contradiction, and handling multiple keyword instances.

• Developing reasoning skills, including making inferences and identifying assumptions based on inductive and deductive reasoning principles

In this section our teaching follows the different subtypes, through examples and deeper learning of the topics they’re based on, you will be ready to ace this section. For each subtype, as follows, you will learn our tried and tested methods that will guarantee you success in this section:
