If you are aiming to pursue your masters abroad, then getting a good score in the GRE would surely top your list. Off the thousands of people taking the GRE every year, a significant number have expressed difficulty in answering the verbal section of the GRE. The first step in securing a good verbal score is improving your vocabulary and learning as many words as possible. Then comes the task of getting yourself comfortable with the testing format. This step would require a superior level of dedicated and focused efforts.

The verbal section in the GRE can be broken down into Text Completion, Sentence Equivalence and Reading Comprehension. Text Completion questions in the GRE intend to assess the critical ability of the candidate by omitting crucial words from short passages and expecting the candidate to fill in the blanks using the remaining information in the passage and his best judgment. The Sentence Equivalence is usually considered one of the harder sections in the GRE verbal section. Sentence Equivalence questions consist of a sentence or passage with one blank. There would be 6 answer choices of which 2 fit in the blank and independently complete the meaning of the sentence. Sentence Equivalence is therefore considered quite tricky while it appears to be an easy to crack section. Then comes the dreaded Reading Comprehension section, with those long passages of never-heard-before words proving to be one major hurdle in your attempt to achieve that perfect score.
