Offset Top Left, Bottom Right backwards?

[Centexcel]

Excel Forum;

It is my understanding (I am studying a VBA book) that I can set up a range with 2 offset methods, the first selects the top left and the second the bottom right of my desired range. Unfortunately, it seems my understanding of this technique is off. To me, my code appears to select the bottom right first and then the top left of the range. What am I doing wrong?

My variable nEMP selects my desired range, however, I thought the offset terms would be switched. (I began with .offset(3,1) and .end(xldown) and .end(xltoright) and that didnt work)
My variable notWorking selects the incorrect range, yet I read it as selecting the headings of the scores. (I would like notWorking to select the nScores range but I want to use the offset method.

Dim nScores As Integer, nEmp As Integer, i As Integer, notWorking As Integer
Dim a1 As Range

Set a1 = wsData.Range("a1")

With a1
    nScores = Range(Range("b3"), Range("f3")).Columns.Select
    nEmp = Range(.Offset(20, 5), .Offset(2, .End(xlToRight))).Rows.Select
    notWorking = Range(.Offset(3, 1), .End(xlToRight)).Rows.Select
End With

Thank you for your help.
