If you are having difficulty solving a question, read the explanation thoroughly. Note that we recommend you read the explanations anyway since you may always learn something new, such as a different way to solve a problem.  \n• There are several ways to arrive at the correct answer. The explanations provided demonstrate only some of the many ways to solve each question.  \n• It is better to practice the challenge questions without a time limitation. The important thing here is to try to deal with difficult questions and learn new solving strategies and ways of thinking.  \nSolving Tips per Subtest  \nVerbal Analogies  \nWhen completing the Verbal Analogies section, try to use these strategies:  \n• Describe, in words, ideas about the relationship between the first pair of words. The best way to do so is to form a sentence that describes the relationship between the two words.  \nFor example, if you have \"policeman-> police car\", a suitable sentence can be \"A policeman rides in a police car. \"  \n• Test the relationship by trying it on the word in the second pair to come up with a possible answer. Then look for that answer among the answer choices. For example, if you have \"fireman-> ?\", implement the sentence you have formed before: \"A fireman rides in a fire truck.\" Then look for the word \"fire truck\" in the answer choices.  \n• Remember that a sentence describing the relationship between a pair of words can also be written in reverse. For example, if you have \"policeman-> police car\", the relationship can be described as follows: \"A police car is driven by a policeman. \" In this case, the sentence written to describe the relationship in the second pair must  \nbe in the same direction. For example, if you have \"fireman-> ?\", a suitable sentence would be: \"A fire truck is driven by a fireman. \"  \n• If more than one answer choice fits the rule, look for a different, more accurate rule.  \nSentence Completion  \nWhen completing the Sentence Completion section, try to use these strategies:  \n• Go over the answer choices to rule out those that clearly do not fit the sentence.  \n• Identify the type of sentence as it can help you figure out what the missing word should be. Here are some of the sentence types you might encounter on the CogAT. Notice there are certain words that can help you figure out what the sentence type is:  \n- Cause and effect: a sentence that explains the effects of something or the reasons something happened.  \nCause and effect words: because, since, consequently, as a result of, etc.  \nFor example: Miley left the party because it was too    \nIn this sentence, the word \"because\" hints that this is a cause and effect sentence. You need to find a word that would explain the reason why Miley left the party. A possible word can be \"noisy:\" Miley left the party because it was too noisy.  \n- Compare and contrast: a sentence in which the similarities or the differences between two or more things are presented.  \nCompare and contrast words: as opposed to, compared with, just as, despite, similar to, etc.  \nFor example: Allen   to a friend's house despite the heavy rain.  \nIn this sentence, the word \"despite\" hints at a contradiction between the first and second parts of the sentence. A logical way to complete this sentence would be to say that Allen went to a friend's house despite the heavy rain – as you would have expected Allen not to go outside because of the rain.  \n- Definition: in this type of sentence, a certain part of the sentence explains the missing word.  \nFor example: Mary visited the   city, which was fully congested with vehicles.  \nIn this sentence, the part after the comma (,) gives an explanation about the city Mary visited and explains it was congested. Thus, a possible answer choice can be noisy as thi","cbCairiW99YjJXEW","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCairiW99YjJXEW","pdf",262793,"English","# General Tips\n# Solving Tips per Subtest\n## Verbal Analogies\n## Sentence Completion\n## Verbal Classification\n## Number Analogies","[{\"question\":\"What should you do if you are unsure about an answer on the CogAT?\",\"answer\":\"Try to answer all questions even if you do not know the answer.
