The first move you can make to get faster at GRE Verbal is to have a clear, reliable strategy for answering each type of GRE Verbal question. Why? Well, even if you can get most GRE Verbal questions correct without clear strategies, you’ll likely answer them significantly faster if you have such strategies.

For example, you may be able to find your way to the correct answer to a Main Idea question in a Reading Comprehension passage without a clear strategy. However, if you know in advance that, when you see a Main Idea question, you should identify important points in the passage, use those points to bring the main idea into focus, and determine which choice fits what the important points indicate, you’ll likely answer the question faster.

By learning or developing a strategy for answering each type of question, you’ll save time in answering every question you see.
