GRE Verbal Ep 1: How to Approach GRE Text Completion

What's the best way to complete a GRE Text Completion question? How can you use the context of the sentence to help you eliminate wrong answers? What should you do if you don't know the definition of one of the answer choices? And just how important is it to study vocabulary for the GRE?

In this video, Charles -- a veteran GRE tutor with a perfect 340 score on the exam and more than 20 years of experience as a GRE instructor -- will answer all these questions. He'll show you how to think about GRE Text Completion efficiently and effectively, and he'll demonstrate the methods and processes that helped him score a perfect V170 in the GRE verbal section.

He'll also explain why cramming a bunch of vocabulary flashcards is unlikely to lead to a dramatic improvement in your GRE score.
