GRE VERBAL INTRODUCTION

Hi Friends, Its been a long time since I've posted some tips and information here, My hard-disk caused me a lot of trouble by causing mechanical failure, resulting in the loss of all my valuable data collected over the years. So i had no material to post in this blog, so it took me a week to bring back to my normal condition, i have collected some information about the GRE verbal and ready to share it with you, so here we go:

GRE VERBAL INTRODUCTION

In revised GRE examination, we have 3 types of verbal reasoning questions, they are:

a.) Reading Comprehension

b.) Text Completion

c.) Sentence Equivalence

Reading Comprehension: 

In Short, Reading Comprehension questions will be your hardest questions because:

a.) It will test the various skills of the student, so it consumes all your valuable time.

b.) The passages are lengthy, some said they got passages of about 60-100 lines and only 4 multiple choice questions will be asked from that.

c.) The passages will not be easy to understand, It makes the students to spend a lot of time in understanding the author's main theme.

d.) The questions are tougher than the passages, almost all the questions will be in-direct questions

e.) So you have to spend most of your time preparing for your reading comprehension, as there will be about 50% of the questions from Reading Comprehension in GRE verbal section (so you can't omit this out!!!!).

In my following posts, i will discuss in-detail about the Reading Comprehension, stay tuned...

Text Completion and Sentence Completion:

In Text Completion, a Paragraph will be given with some blanks (one or more), the answer choices will be given below the paragraph, you have to choose the best answer choice that fits into the paragraph. Initially, You have to read the paragraph and understand the main theme of it, then try to fill out the blank with your own answer and look for the similar word in the answer choice. You could find one answer which suits it best. At times, you may have to do the Process of Elimination(POE) to remove the undesired answers. Anyway you need to be strong with the vocabulary, so practice as many vocabulary as possible.

In sentence completion, You may have to choose 2 answers for the blank, You cannot get the credit until you choose the 2 right answers (If anyone of your answer choice is wrong, you won't get any credit for it)
