Consider verbal reasoning to be an enjoyable word-based brain exercise! Rather than testing your ability to perform a certain number of push-ups, it measures your ability to think critically and provide answers based on what you've read. It's more important to comprehend stories or issues and come up with original, clever solutions than it is to recite dates or data from your classes. It resembles working as a word and idea detective! While it may not be taught explicitly in certain places, it's a fun method to demonstrate how brilliant your mind can be when faced with a challenging word problem! 

All the best
