AFOQT Exam Prep 9, Anatomy of a Verbal Analogy — A:B::C:D and 7 Relationship Types

In this episode you will learn: - The core strategy for any verbal analogy is to define the relationship between the first pair of words (A:B) before considering the answer choices. - The seven most tested relationship types on the AFOQT are synonym, antonym, part-to-whole, function/tool, cause-effect, category, and characteristic. - The most common trap is the relationship reversal, such as confusing a part-to-whole relationship (cockpit:airplane) with a whole-to-part relationship (airplane:cockpit). - To solidify the word relationship, create a precise sentence that connects A and B (e.g., "Fatigue is a cause for a yawn"). - Every AFOQT verbal analogy follows the A:B::C:D structure, and your goal is to find the word for D that mirrors the A:B relationship exactly.
