\nOf all the questions in the Verbal Reasoning section, approximately half are Sentence Completions. They\u2019re arranged in order of increasing difficulty.
\nSentence Completions are fill-in-the-blank questions. Each question will have one or two blanks, and you must select the best fit from the four choices provided.
\nThese are probably the easiest of all the Verbal Reasoning question types. Unlike Analogies, they give you some context in which to think about vocabulary words, and unlike Reading Comprehension questions, they require you to focus on only a single sentence at a time.
\nSentence Completions are about the sentence much more than they are about the answer choices. To answer these questions correctly on Test Day, look for clues in each sentence and predict the answer before approaching the choices. This way, you will answer Sentence Completions more quickly, reliably, and accurately than you would by rushing to the answer choices.
