Read fast, decide faster. The complete VR method — scanning passages, True / False / Can't Tell logic, the common traps, and the timing that gets you to an 800.
Read once for retention, match your method to the question type, and use checkpoints to stay ahead of the clock — the full VR system in one place.
Stop memorising detail. Read each passage once for contention, tone and categorisation — the three things that actually win marks.
Get the three definitions exactly right, never use outside knowledge, and scan for the concept rather than the keyword — that's the whole game.
Five quick checks let you pre-select the right answer before you look back at the passage — the fastest way to clear open VR questions.
