About This Exam

The GRE Verbal Reasoning measure assesses your ability to analyze and evaluate written material and synthesize information obtained from it, analyze relationships among component parts of sentences, and recognize relationships among words and concepts.

What's Covered

• Reading Comprehension — understanding passages, drawing inferences, identifying author's purpose, analyzing argument structure, and vocabulary in context
• Text Completion — filling in blanks within sentences and short passages using vocabulary and contextual reasoning (1–3 blanks per question)
• Sentence Equivalence — selecting two answer choices that produce sentences with equivalent meaning, testing vocabulary and comprehension

For more details, see the official ETS GRE Verbal Reasoning page.

Study Tips

1. Build vocabulary systematically. Focus on words that appear frequently in academic writing rather than obscure or archaic terms.
2. Practice active reading. For each passage, identify the main idea, the author's tone, and the structure of the argument before answering questions.
3. Use context clues. In Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence, look for signal words (however, although, moreover) that indicate relationships between ideas.
4. Eliminate wrong answers. On Reading Comprehension, cross out choices that are too extreme, unsupported, or that distort the passage's claims.
5. Manage your time. Aim for about 1.5 minutes per question. Don't spend too long on any single question — mark it and return if time allows.
