Re: Tips for GRE Verbal

As you are saying you want appear in GRE exam and your Verbal Reasoning section is week so here I am telling you some of tips for mastering the verbal section of the gre exam:
First fill in the blank with your own word.
Pay close attention to signal words.
Don't insist that the correct word pair be perfect synonyms.
Take reasoned guesses at the meaning of unfamiliar words.
A word that fits the sentence is not necessarily a correct choice
Check for word-usage and idiom problems.
Consider all the answer choices.
Use roots, prefixes, and suffixes to determine the gist of an unfamiliar word.
You need to Guess quickly if you’re stumped. The computer won’t let you go on until you’ve marked and confirmed an answer, and believe it or not, answering a few questions incorrectly hurts your score less than not finishing a section.
Approach Antonym questions by
Creating an approximate definition of the word in your mind
Predicting the obvious opposite
Remembering that words can have more than one meaning
Avoid getting stuck on a Reading Comprehension question by following these tips:
Choose positive or neutral answers, not negative ones.
Guess quickly and move on when you encounter Roman numeral and negative/exception questions, because they’re often tricky and time consuming.
Avoid picking an answer simply because it’s true. Always make certain that it answers the question correctly.
When faced with Analogies,
Create a sentence that shows the relationship between the two words and then use that sentence on each answer choice.
Beware of answers with inverse relationships (for example, part to whole when the question was whole to part).
For Sentence Completion questions, be sure to
Read the entire sentence to get its gist before looking at the individual blanks.
Search for key connector words (such as because, although, and however) that may change the meaning of the sentence from what you’d expect.
Predict whether the blanks need positive or negative words.
