Verbal GRE Walkthrough: Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence (340 Tutor)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 янв 2020
- A 340 tutor goes through a real ETS Verbal section, focusing on Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence.
This will be against the clock, but you will see my thought process live, focusing on synonyms and antonyms, as well as conjunctions such as ‘although’ for text completion, while focusing more on the final clause for sentence equivalence. A good vocabulary helps but you can still get 100% and not know every word!
I hope this text completion walkthrough and sentence equivalence walkthrough helps you see how I think about the test. Inspired in part by GregMat.

I personally feel, you are one of the under-rated GRE tutor.
Your way of teaching is tremendous and needs to be diversified.
Thank you mate!
Thanks Batman
Being a good teacher is not everyone's cup of tea , still you managed to pull it off. Great work.
I like how this genius first fills all the blanks with mmms...:3
Haha
As usual, brilliant and insightful!! Big fan.
You are amazing to share this, Thanks!
133 views come on. The world is busy doing and talking shit and nobody has time to learn something creative and arduous. It manifests how people prefer shits and instant entertainment rather than long-lasting knowledge. It brings pain seeing youtubers throwing shit on internet and getting millions of views and thousands of likes, whereas nobody is willing to appreciate a man's deliberate and sedulous work for sole purpose of helping another human. Hope one day you will be acknowledged for your work.
Thanks Niraj! Comments like yours make it worth it!
thank you very much as usual for all of these!
There we go again!! i'm liking this channel

Hey Philip, thanks for the practice video! I got 2 out of the 13 questions wrong.. so that's not too bad! 🙂
Well done Mansi! :)
Thank you, sir
Most welcome
Sir, your videos are very useful thanks for making those, I am watching the verbal playlist and quant. Simultaneously . Can you please make videos on the question type of Reading Comprehension where it is written as - "Which of the following if true ,most weaken the argument"
And with those phrases such as most likely or less likely comply with author or contradict to the line...
Thank you so much for this excellent videos. Could you pls let me know that how can become expert for understanding tough RC passage and Three blank TC, although I got right one 3 blank TC in here
Hi Phillip, I love your videos. I recently watched your Probability video. I want to know if there is any way to solve verbal with vocabulary? I'm very bad with Vocabulary.
Hey Philip ur explanation is awesome! I have given my power prep today some questions have been repeated from this walkthrough I have been preparing by seeing ur walkthrough vedios and I scored 310+ so can I assume that I will be scoring 300+ in actual gre exam or should I prepare more because I have seen those questions already before attempting power prep!
17:08 Equivocation- come from equivocal. Equi ( equal ) + Vocal ( speaking ). Therefore, if you're speaking equally for both the sides ( i.e. +ve&-ve or good&bad ), it means you're unclear or ambiguous. So going by that, equivocation would mean giving a speech or talking in a ambiguous manner.
Nice! I will do a full vocab video on this and 100 other high frequency words as a follow-up soon.
Hi Philip, I really need ur help for ielts. Could you please please make videos like how to speak.. how to write...n how to read fast n understand.. please make a video whenever it is possible...
Wish me luck, I have my exam tomorrow.
Feeling really nervous and frightened as well
How could you answer 4th 1st black ,might be matches with other than missing from right?!,could you please clarify my doubt
Hey Phil
Sentence equivalence Q19), I feel deceit and duplicity suits better in context. "impute" is the game changer here. Impute is defined as "undesirable attributes". Wouldn't acumen and shrewdness be qualities a detective would want?
Great videos and explanations as usual by the way☺
@The Tested Tutor Could you please help me out where to start from your videos. Gonna learn seriously from today onwards
Watch every one!
Such a great walkthrough. Thanks for your dedication. I have a question regarding Q2 and hope you can help me address it.
Is the word BUT here just to distract us? Since I chose “crowded” with the thinking that: Most spacecraft are CURRENTLY at risk due to space debris, but the future will be brighter (meaning less crowded in terms of space debris). Can you please share your thinking on how do you determine which part is more important to a sentence than the other (like ignore the BUT and focus on the numbers of new satellites)?
Sometimes yes the words like but don't alter the meaning of the overall sentence
what is this material that you are using in this video?
Make some vedios on iltes and TOEFL too
I got 10/13
I have a doubt in question-2. It says in 1st line that spacecraft are at risk of collision. But then the 'BUT' used in between suggests that in coming future the risk of collision is going to decrease and for that orbital environment would be less crowded/polluted. That's where I got stuck,..choosing between crowded and polluted. but in the end you gave a completely different answer.
Are you trying to say that the line 'given the number of new launches' suggests that the frequency of launches has increased? I mean, can't that line mean the frequency of new launches has decreased?
But pollution didn't really come into it, it is more about the number. And the passage is very much hinting that the number of new launches is _increasing_ the crowdedness, so the future will be LESS benign.
Why do we need opposite word for 'inept' question 19?
Hi sir!! I have a question, that in the other's videos of TC and SE, they always took a first step to just ignore or hide all answer choices and do some guess work and then find synonyms of their imagined word whereas in your videos you always look towards choices just after reading sentence and you are able to just get answer accurately. So, which approach is apparently better because i m really bad with guessing words for blanks.
Hey Venus, so I do predict as well, maybe a bit more in my head. It is always good to do a rough prediction to see if you understand the tone and flow of the sentence. But don't spend too long as the answers may be different. Check out my latest video for more examples
@@TheTestedTutor sure!! Thank u.
Hi , I have a doubt , in the 17th question why it cannot be error/miscalculation.
Can you please clear #19? why did you choose opposite words of inept??
*Few* inept means more of X (opposite of inept)
2020
You don't need to be clearheaded to see fish is my favorite phrase.
Hey Phillip, in 17th question why can't 'error' and 'miscalculation' be the answers?
Because those words are not the true opposite of determinate cause [which means fixed, inevitable]. Opposite is luck/random. Hope that helps Anjeeta
How can encounter big rc in short span of time ?????I l learn alot from you
Not sure I understand?
@@TheTestedTutor Yes, actually I also have a problem with reading long RCs and comprehending them in a short amount of time. It's like when I read the 1st paragraph and move on to the 2nd one, I have to hurry up for the remaining passage and it's kind of difficult to take down the points of every paragraph in a short amount of time.
So what should be my strategy for reading a passage and getting through the questions with a good speed and be able to answer accurately?
Do you believe this practice would be helpful if you are taking the GMAT?
Absolutely
Is it just me or are non-Ets verbal questions so frustrating and hard to answer? I feel like there are no clues to help identify the correct
correct answer*
@@taysiamassie5906 It's true that there will always be clues in the real thing. Definitely start by finishing all the ETS Official Guides, then you can notice any differences with the others...
Audio quality is very bad.😢
