How I Got a Perfect GRE Verbal Score (GRE V170)
Want a V170 on GRE Verbal? It’s not about memorizing more words—it’s about how you read.
In this video, Erika Tyler-John, a 339 GRE scorer and expert instructor with 10+ years of teaching experience and 4M+ YouTube views, breaks down the single most important skill behind top Verbal scores: active reading.
Active reading means processing information as you go—connecting ideas, tracking structure, and anticipating meaning before you ever look at the answer choices. It’s the difference between getting stuck and moving through questions with clarity.
You’ll see how this skill applies across all major GRE Verbal question types, from Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence to Critical Reasoning-style questions and Reading Comprehension. Erika shows how to use context and structure to predict answers, eliminate traps, and stay in control even on dense passages.
You’ll also learn why active reading actually saves time—reducing rereads, minimizing confusion, and making answer choices easier to evaluate.
If you’re aiming for a top GRE Verbal score, this is the shift that gets you there.
