What's the secret to a great score on the sentence completion section?
Since sentence completions are essentially a vocabulary test, you want to do a thorough vocabulary review and really try to augment your vocabulary as you're preparing for this sentence completion test in order to get a great score. In terms of how you want to approach the sentence completions, you want to read each sentence very carefully because every word or part of the sentence is there for a reason. Then you want to fill in the blanks with your own words, so that when you're looking at the answer choices, you're basically looking for something that you're already thinking about. Also, when you're reading the sentence through, you want to pick up on words like although, rather and however; words that are going to shift the logic of the sentence and usually set up some kind of contrast. If you can't find the word that you're looking for, you want to aggressively get rid of bad answer choices. Answer choices that just can't be the right answer. I would suggest if you can get rid of at least one or two incorrect answer choices, you should take a guess and move on to the next question. This is the secret to a great score on the sentence completion section.
