1. Read Critically:

GRE Reading comprehension is to be read critically unlike daily news reading. You have to read for the main idea, authors point, authors view, purpose of the paragraph etc. Don't just read, read strategically. Don't rush when reading the gre passages worrying about time; if you don't get the point of the passage, you may struggle.


2. Predict the Next:

Predict the next by the sigal words used, eg, although, while, despite, nevertheless, etc. These words signal for contrast, or support. So look for these key words.


3. Skip the Details:

When you already got the main point, skip the details. If you get a question from the detail, then comeback, scan the passage for the clue words, check the sentences, predict the answer, match the answer.


4.Use POE for difficult questions:

In gre reading comprehensions, you can predict for the 60% questions, but some questions are hard enough to be predicted, So use POE(process of elimination) to get wrong answers out. Inference questions are likely to be hard.


5. Read the answer choices critically:

Answer choices are not written straight forwardly, rather they are twisted enough to make you frustrate. So read the answer choice carefully. And also look for the tone of the answer choices, if it is extreme, eliminate  it unless it is justified by the passage.
