### The Emotional Struggle
Tackling Reading Comprehension science passages. I was reading too slowly, getting bogged down in complex biological or historical terminologies. I would run out of time on the final 3 verbal questions, dragging my score down.
### The Turning Point
Mastering the Negation Test for assumptions. As an engineer, I wanted verbal logic to have absolute mathematical formulas. Once I realized that negating the correct assumption operates exactly like a contradiction proof in mathematics, my Verbal accuracy jumped from 60% to 92%.
### Study Schedule & Logistics
2 hours every evening (20:00 - 22:00) using customized error log autopsies to review every mistake.
### Final Advice
*"Do not read to memorize details. Map the passage's logical skeleton (Author's claim vs. cited experts). You can always return to retrieve specific details later."*
