Lesson: Text Completion - 05

Complex Text Completion Strategies

Try to Understand the Sentence or Paragraph as a Whole

Pay special attention to rhetorical structure and to “signpost” words that show direction and logical flow.

Don’t Waste Time Trying to Make Sense of Answer Choices That Don’t Work

If an answer doesn’t make sense move on to the next choice.

Always Consider Each and Every Answer Choice

The difference between the best and second-best answer can be subtle.

Eliminate Any Choice That’s Too Vague or Too Specific for the Passage as a Whole

Keep in mind that you might need to determine the best choice based on nuanced meanings.

Don’t Choose Any Answer Just Because It Contains a Difficult Word

By the same token, don’t rule it out for this reason. If you don’t know what a word means, try to guess based on the word’s prefix or root, how the word “sounds,” or even your gut instinct.

Decide Between Viable Choices by Checking for Idiom, Usage, and Awkwardness in Context

The correct answer should not sound strange or forced in the context of the passage. Checking for good grammar can make the difference between picking the right choice and the wrong one.
