Not able to keep up to the mark in Text completion

by divya.1024 Mon Nov 18, 2013 8:14 pm

Hi ,

While working on Text completion drills, I am not able to keep up to the mark. I score just 50 % in them. I am a bit worried at this moment. I tried memorizing the words and then attempt the exercise drill. However, I still end up in low score. I would like to know, how can I improve to make it a better score. Is it the more practice or the more vocabulary? I know both vocabulary and practice goes hand in hand. Would like to have a better guidance from your end.

Appreciate your response,
Divya

Hey Divya,

It's more vocabulary, and possible stronger reading skills. Your method should be to find the CLUE (the part of sentence that will inform the blank), filling in your own word (WITHOUT looking at the answers), the comparing your fill-in word with the answer choices. Do that process every single time.
