Verbal Virtuoso for the MCAT Critical Analysis and Reasoning Skills (CARS) is an innovative step-by-step program that teaches MCAT test-takers to use a simple yet powerful system to analyze MCAT CARS passages and correctly answer their accompanying questions. This system is specifically designed for the notorious CARS section of the MCAT, which has consistently posed difficulty for MCAT test-takers. In this workbook, we'll teach you an incredibly effective technique to complete the MCAT CARS section. The Verbal Virtuoso technique provides you with an easy and efficient system to analyze every one of the author's arguments presented in any MCAT passage. By asking yourself two very important questions upon reading each statement in the passage, you'll develop a thorough understanding of the author's views and biases, as these simple questions force you to analyze the author's purpose in writing each sentence. With this clear insight into how the author presents his or her argument to the reader, answering the questions correctly will be an easier and clear-cut task. Furthermore, we provide you with a systematic thinking technique that ensures you read each statement and THINK about the statement's meaning and purpose within the passage. We understand it's hard to read through the dense and extremely boring verbal passages, so we don't teach our students to read for enjoyment. Rather, we teach you to analyze every statement, searching for any sign of argument, and this investigation of the passage will naturally help you answer the most time-consuming and thought-provoking questions presented on reading exams (i.e. "Which of the following answer choices would most weaken the author's views presented in the passage?" or "Which of the following answer would the author most likely criticize?"). Thank you, and we hope you enjoy this educational experience.
