<p>No, the “strategies” that they offer are basic common sense. As a person from third world country, the hardest part for me is the CR section, and the advice they offer is “locate context clue”, or “say sentence to yourself to see if it makes sense”, “don’t do guesswork”. Yeah, thanks Sherlock. Seriously though, they seem to believe that we know what each word means and still manage to mess things up. No that’s not how it works, that’s not how any of that works. If I’m doing guesswork it means I’m doing it as my last resort. The trick is to have a strong vocabulary, and how do you get strong vocabulary? Well Hurr-Durr. Write the questions, write down unknown words and learn them. Tackling the word lists isn’t a good idea. So the strategies that they offer for “academic high achievers” is full of ■■■■. </p>
<p>Having said that, I appreciated the the practice questions. They were good, and the explanations were easy to follow. You want a high score, practice more, solve more questions. Read books in English to build vocabulary etc. etc. </p>
