How to attack the GRE (Verbal) exam ?


Take some simulated GRE exams and try to apply the following approach to get used to that. The approach contains the following steps:

How to attack the GRE(Verbal) exam



1st- Start with sentence equivalence questions. Typically, they are in the middle of section and can be easily spotted (Options are in square shape). There are four sentence equivalence questions consecutively. The reason is that indeed sentence equivalence is the easiest part in verbal section and you can boost your self-confidence and manage your anxiety by starting with this part. (4 min)

2nd- Go to the sentence completion questions. Sentence completions starts with one blank questions and then twoblank and three-blank in order. There are roughly six questions in this part consecutively (8 t0 9 min).

3rd- Go to the reading comprehension. It is about 8 t0 9 questions from 3 to 4 passages dispersed in the verbal section. (11 to 12 min)

4th- Then you have to answer critical reasoning questions. This part contains one or two questions and every critical reasoning passage has only one question. This part is typically at the end of the section. (2-4min)

5th- Checking unanswered questions and choose an option randomly if you can’t find the right answer (because there is no penalty for wrong answers in GRE). (2-4 min) This way, you are able to answer all 20 questions in 30 minutes.
