Problem solving Sentence equivalence!

by aakash.pneni Thu Oct 24, 2013 7:28 am

I have been giving practice tests and my rc's and tc's have been fine so far, 75% correct in both of them. But SE's are giving me a head ache...my correct answers here fall down to 33%. Every single time I would know one correct option but would screw up the other one.

My test is in 5 days,any tips? and are manhattans verbal questions (atleast vocab) tougher than what I would get for the actual GRE?

Hey Aakash,

It's purely a question of vocabulary knowledge, so there's no real tip or trick I could offer (I assume you know by now that the pair of words are usually synonyms, and that you can cross off any answer choices without a pair). Just keep memorizing new words and hope you get a good set (relative to the words you know) on test day!
