The non-verbal section comprises 4 of 9 sections on the COGAT if you include number analogies, which I do because throwing number analogies on top of other types of shape transformations raises the bar on practice. I think this area is probably our strongest area.
In fact, here is one strategy to the 3 verbal sections: over prepare on the non-verbal and quantitative sections and hope for the best. This strategy may not get you to 99%, but it might get you close and I'll explain that next week. Regardless, there is more coming on the verbal section.
I have been getting lots of requests for help on figure analogies lately, probably because of the over the top section I added to edition 3 of Test Prep Math. Here is a training video for parents on Figure Matrices. I typed up a very long dry technical narrative and switched to video. It looks a lot like how I coach, only super fast and I do all of the talking. The bad news is that I really need some editing software and I sound like I grew up in Indiana and I'm a geek.
I'm also getting lots of questions on the verbal section, especially by a few Tiger Readers. In their honor, I'm going to follow up 201 with 202 - Verbal. Figure matrices and verbal are very similar in all things but content.
