Though the syllabus of GRE is quite vast, and one feel hard to cover all the topics in limited period of time, and may be due to any reason you are not able to cover all the topics. But take into consideration, don’t forget to cover the most important topics listed below, as these are the things you cant miss to score high.
Due to “n” number of reasons you might be missing any topic: be it the topic is out of your interest, some topics can be too time consuming, and might be the limited time constraint you have for your preparation.
So here through my this blog I am going to list you all the essential topics in one place that you cant afford to miss, and primarily these topics are going to cater you towards your aim that is to score high in GRE. So without any delay let me guide you, with the 6 most important topics that you cant miss.
1. Do not forget to enrich your vocabulary section
You do not need to build proficiency in English, but yes! There is a need to grasp a few high frequency words. do not rote motify but rather use smart techniques like mnemonics, pictures, flash cards, through root words, audio pronunciations or by their word usage.
Yourpedia global mentors help you master the learning techniques by use of mnemonics. you can check out the videos listed on YouTube and other available on youpedia global panel. These sessions help to memorize better and build up strong communication skills by enhancing your pace on high frequency words.
2. Practice reading comprehension exercises:
Students do fear from reading comprehension the most; due to lack of practice. Either they are unable to comprehend the passage or they are unable to understand the idea which the comprehension tries to convey, thus they are not able to solve the questions.
To improve your RC skills:
a. Make yourself comfortable in reading passages based on any topic- be it small sized or medium one.
b. The questions on RC do vary, it either requires you to understand the theme of the passage, the context which it wants to convey
So majorly practice a lot , and also use some smart tricks which helps you chose the right answer through elimination methods. The tricks are being listed on yourpedia panel, and in the notes while explaining every question. the best can be guided by yourpedia mentors, who are efficient in their own domain.
3. Text completion:
So text completion is where you are been given a statement, and you are to fill the answer choice in the blank with the most suitable option to complete the statement in a meaningful manner.
The only think required is to practice, stop on punctuation marks, try to fill the blanks with shadow words in order to understand the contextual meaning of the statement.
it can be single, double, or three blank questions, so you should be adept in indentifying the clues from the sentences.
Example:
1. In Europe, football, otherwise known as soccer, it is the most popular sport by several orders of magnitude, whereas in America, the fandom is evenly divided among a few different sports.
a. Regarded
b. Inspired
c. Enjoyed
d. Measured
e. Apportioned
Apportioned. You begin by learning about football, which is by far the most popular sport in Europe. The word whereas then creates a contrast, so you need American fans to be evenly spread between their many sports. Measured is close but does not quite divide things up the way you need to. Apportioned means “divided and allocated.”
4. Sentence Equivalence:
The questions of sentence equivalence require you to fill one blank in the sentence with closer synonyms. So basically, each of the two words should make proper sense while reading the statement. The problem that students generally face is choosing words that have a near meaning or a similar one. It’s true that it’s hard to choose distinct words. Your answer will be considered correct if both the chosen words fit in the sentence and convey the same meaning.
Other than mastering the techniques to choose the words, you should get enriched with high-frequency words and build up your vocabulary strong enough to choose the right high-frequency word.
Read the sentence thoroughly and try to figure out what goes in the sentence the best.
Try to fill up the word in the blank that closely matches with your guess.
The common mistake that students commit is directly going by the choices provided rather than trying to first fill in the blank with the shadow word.
“Solution: (strong suits, forte). The word while tells you that you are going to take the opposite of something – in this case, the fact that the director is “very good” at a lot of stuff. However, the phrase “not at all” will twist you back in the opposite direction, so you need a word for the blank that means something like “strength,” strong suit and forte both fit perfectly. Hobby and pastime are a pair, but they do not work here, as this is clearly the director’s job. Similarly, weakness and deficiency are a pair, but the opposite of what you want.”
5. Quantative aptititude:
So the quant part requires the maximum practice that you can, as its going to test your basic mathematical skills, basic concepts of elementary classes . the GRE maths syllabus includes algebra, geometry, data analysis, arithmetic designed to test your quantitative reasoning skills.
