that coveted score. Before we discuss how GRE

  • The GRE verbal section consists of two
    subsections, each consisting of 20 questions.
    Each 20 question section will be broken down in
    the approximate manner below
  • 10 questions on vocab-both sentence equivalence
    and text completion
  • 10 questions on reading comprehension

The GRE practice test you take need to cover all
of the aforementioned types of questions. But
before you can take a GRE verbal practice test,
you should work on your verbal skills, laying the
foundation for success.

To expand your vocabulary, learn a certain number
of words a day. Use these words in sentences
while learning, so you understand how they work
in context. This should help you tackle text
completion and sentence equivalence type
questions in your GRE verbal practice test as
well as the actual GRE. While attempting
Sentence Equivalence questions, dont simply pick
words that are synonyms. Make sure the words you
pick fit the context of the sentence. The more
GRE verbal practice tests you take, the easier
this will get for you.

When attempting Text Completion questions, you
should identify the tone of the passage first.
Again, the more GRE verbal practice tests you
take, the better you will get at doing this.
Reading comprehension has gathered the
reputation of being the hardest to tackle your
best bet is to read.

Read as many high calibre articles as you can
the editorial sections of newspapers, magazines.
This will also let you see words youve been
learning being used in context. Once youre
confident of your word knowledge, you can take
GRE verbal practice tests for the same. When
answering reading comprehension passages, you do
not attempt to absorb all of the details
mentioned in the passage on the very first read.
