Sure thing! I would really appreciate help in VR!

Well, for analytical, you have a introduction, 2 body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

 For the intro, you have to CLEARLY state your contention (what you are arguing for).
List what arguments you will be talking about in your body paragraphs.

For Body:

P1: Have a  topic sentence (what you will talk about in the paragraph)
      Elaborate on the sentence.
      Provide evidence, in the form of quotes or statistics.
      Link back to the topic and restate your contention.

P2: Have a  topic sentence (what you will talk about in the paragraph)
      Elaborate on the sentence.
      Provide evidence, in the form of quotes or statistics.
      Link back to the topic and restate your contention.

Conclusion: Restate your contention (again!)
                   Restate your arguments
                   Leave a catchy ending to get the judge's attention

That's basically it.

Zlatan:
One technique which I used to strengthen my verbal reasoning was to work backwards, which means that I chose one of the answers and see if it made sense, rather than working towards the answer.

Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks for reading

Hey there, just going to point something out. ATAR Notes is the sort of website that encourages sharing of information WITHOUT the need for any "exchange". You should help someone because you want to, not because you hope for something in return. Furthermore, a user did help you and you did not "exchange" your knowledge against your bargain.

This is incredibly poor form.

Pi I pmed that user for help and it was tips

radicalness123:
And please don't call this forum a poor one we are still helping each other
