It's my understanding that there is a cut off point in these tests. If you do well in all except one, even if by only by a small margin.You're out. With maths you can practice, practice and it will help. Verbal reasoning on the other hand, is more ephermal. If you're naturally inclined that way it's easy.That's the case with me, however I need to work on my maths which is a lot weaker. Frankly I'm dubious about learning to be good at Verbal reasoning. It's like learning to be a footballer or a singer, you either have it or you don't. But as a consolation I would say the cut off point would be lower for verbal reasoning than for maths. Having said that a bit of practice for wouldn't do any harm.
I read somewhere that most pilots were found to 'left brained' ie practical, logical and good at maths. 'Right brained' people on the other hand are artistic, good at verbal reasoning and presumably illogical or should that be lateral thinkers. Has anyone else any info on this?
