GRE Verbal Section Tips To Solve The Questions

Keep in mind the following GRE Verbal tips as you study before test day.

1.      Use roots, prefixes, and suffixes to determine the meaning of words you don't know.

2.     Vocabulary is essential. When it comes to the GRE Verbal section, that's the bottom line. Be proactive: look up words you don't know!

3.     On definition questions, guess quickly! Many questions require you to know the definition, and because it's likely that you can't use much logic to get to a better answer, select one and move on. You can always come back if you have time.

4.     Find your personal reading passage strategy. If you read the questions first, when you read the passages, you can focus on finding the right answers most quickly. However, some students find that reading the passage first helps them understand the argument more generally first, before delving into the specific questions.

5.     Pay special attention to the first and last sentences. They provide important clues to the meaning of each passage.

6.    Questions with Roman numeral answers are often confusing and difficult. They ask you choose one more or to find an exception. If you're running low on time, mark down a guess and move to the next question.

7.     Think of an obvious opposite word in your head on Antonym questions first, before you look at the answers.

8.     On Reading Comprehension, make sure your answer actually answers the question and isn't just a true statement.

9.     With analogy questions, create a sentence in your head that shows the relationship between the two words and then use that sentence on each answer choice.

10. On sentence completion questions, find connector words like "although" or "but" that may change the meaning of the sentence.

11.   Think about connotation. On sentence completion questions, ask if the required word needs to have a positive or negative connotation. Many times you can eliminate answer choices because the connotations don't fit.

12.  Read, read! News magazines with well-written articles will boost your vocab.

13.  Keep on pace. On the GRE, every question is worth the same, so keep trucking through those questions and don't get hung up on one or two.

14. On reading comprehension, distinguish ideas that the author is advancing from those the author is only reporting.

15.  On sentence completion, don't just look among the answer choices for two words that mean the same thing. Remember, the goal is to make the whole sentence mean the same thing.

16. On the sentence completion, fill in the easiest blank first. It doesn't have to be the first blank.

17.  When you have made your selection for each blank, check to make sure the passage is coherent: logically, grammatically and stylistically.

18. Most often, answers on the Reading Comprehension sections will not be negative answers, but rather be neutral or positive.
