GRE Reading Comprehension is too tricky and difficult
This is one of the most frequent statement you would hear from students who have already taken their GRE.
50% of the question in the GRE Verbal section, actually appear from Reading Comprehension. Many students find the Reading Comprehension section the toughest of all. Some even tend to get discouraged after attempting a few questions. While there is no denying that this is a difficult section, there is definitely hope to score well. In order to score above 160 in the Verbal section, you need to be cool-headed and confident about multiple factors like GRE words, sentence structures, grammar and analytical reading.
Should you read fast or read smart? Should you read the passage first or should you go through the question first and then read the passage? Checkout the video to get clear explanation on it
1. Read, read, and read.
Yes, the first tip is read, read, and read. Read from a wide range of publications-newspapers, magazines, opinion pages, editorials, journals, etc. This will give you exposure to different kinds of writings. The biggest mistake GRE aspirants commit is that they spend less time reading topics they are least interested in. Reading long articles about science, geography, history, law, sports etc. can help you come out of your comfort zone. Passages in GRE Reading Comprehension actually come from these topics and so gaining expertise in reading these topics is the most basic step in mastering RC.
2. Read the entire passage first
While most of the students tend to read the question and the answer choices first, they obviously invite trouble by searching for the right context clue inside the passage. The majority get lost somewhere in between and waste time.
So the thumb rule is,
Do not get into the questions/options directly.
The passage is constructed in such a way that it seems to be extremely tricky. The test designers add attractive words and those words are subtly added in the questions to confuse the test taker. Also, after reading the answers you start framing skewed judgments’ which becomes difficult to vanquish later. Thus, best is to go by the traditional way - Read the entire passage and then start answering.
3. Read Analytically
Analytical reading is a proven technique to build your comprehending skills.
4. Improve your accuracy
The key is not to read faster, but to read smarter. Intelligent reading means knowing when to pay attention and when to relax. You shouldn’t skim or skip any parts of the passage as you read, but you should slow down and pay more attention to important parts, and speed up and pay less attention to the unimportant parts. The best way to improve is to work with passages, identify where you went wrong, and ensure you got it right for the right reason. Critical thinking is the ability to question, analyze, and understand the context of information before you accept or reject it. Train yourself to question and process different types of information by setting daily habits. The goal is not to come to a conclusion, but to be able to understand what you can and cannot know from the evidence. Putting words on paper will help you visualize and evaluate them more critically.
5. Take Notes
While practicing, it is good idea to take notes for medium sized and long passages in RC. When you take notes:
