Comprehension Here we have to read a given passage and answer thequestions based on it. We all have been doing such passages since our school days. The only difference is of the difficulty level. Questions will often be about a topic which is unfamiliar to you, but this is an advantage rather than a disadvantage because you need to answer the questions based only on the information that you are given not using any knowledge that you already have. 4. You have to read the whole passage presented at least once. One can first see the questions given to get anunderstanding of the passage and it may help them in finding the answer as they read through the passage. Time Management- For multiple choice tests, cross out answers you know are wrong to eliminate them from contention. If you can't decide between two or three choices, make an educated guess and move on. Wasting too much time on one question may hurt you later in the test. Other Considerations- As you read through the passage for the first time, it is a good idea to use a pencil to note down ideas, quotes, or other information that seems important and may appear in questions. There's no better way to increase reading comprehension scores than to practice doing it. Practicing helps you increase your test-taking speed and allow you to pinpoint the areas that you need to work on the most. 5. Synonyms & Antonyms: Similar Meaning and Opposite meaning words Learning the entire dictionary is not the solution to buildingthe vocabulary. Instead one can start early by following the steps given below. A simple technique- Write down A-Z in a notebook. Now write a sentence such asMy neighbors dog is ___________. Now start writing words with A, B,C,D, and so on in the blank space. Eg: My neighbors dog is amazing, awful, afraid, etc. My neighbors dog is Bold, Brave, Bad, etc. As you go on writing you come up with words and can match synonyms and antonyms. You can make many such sentences. Doing it with your friends will help and will be fun too. 6. Experiment with synonyms After you see the meaning of aword, look up its usage in the sentence that is usually present in the dictionary. Note down this sentence. Prepare a new sentence after understanding the meaning of the word. Prepare sentences with antonyms So the next step is to find the antonym of the word, this further helps you to store the word well in your mind. Now try to form a sentence or couple of sentences with the antonyms. If you can follow this strategy, it would definitely solve your problem of learning new words without forgetting their meaning. 7. Verbal Analogies Verbal analogies provide excellent training inseeing relationships between concepts. How to "Read" Analogies- The symbol ( : ) means "is to" and the symbol ( : : ) means "as." Thus, the analogy, "aspirin : headache : : nap : fatigue," should be read "aspirin is to headache as nap is to fatigue." Stated another way, the relationship between aspirin and headache is the same as the relationship between nap and fatigue. 8. Common Relationships Between Word Pairs 1.
