The verbal section of the GMAT requires high proficiency of the English language, sharp reasoning abilities and logical inferences skills. Each of the three question types - critical reasoning, reading comprehension and sentence correction - demand unique approaches and solving strategies. 

 More than meets the eye

All three questions types rely on a firm grasp of English vocabulary, grammar, and the capability of processing information and written texts of the highest level.
Surprisingly, not only students outside the United States and other English speaking countries find this section as difficult. In the verbal section, native English speakers who are merely accustomed to daily newspaper reading and verbal communication are confronted with academic-level texts, foundations of language usage and the need to make logical deductions, turning this section into a serious obstacle on the way to achieve a high score.
