GRE Reading Comprehension video summary: 1. A one question passage --> read the question first (but not the possible answers yet) and then read the passage for the answer. 2. A two or more questions passage --> read the passage first by skimming. To skim effectively, we want to find: 2a. The purpose: What is the point of the passage? Is it to argue a point, explain a concept, compare two conflicting viewpoints, analyze a course of action, or etc.? We want to find the "big verb" of the passage: what does it do? 2b. The main idea: what is the passage about? And at what level are we focusing? Is it about the topic in general or about a specific topic? We want to capture what the main focus of the passage is. 2c. The structure: how is the passage structured? Does it start with background info on a trend, dig into historical trends, and then finally project that trend into the future? Or does it lay out an argument to start, then present a counterpoint, then rebut that counterpoint? Or does it start with a hypothesis, then describe the methods of the study, and then reveal the results and implications of that study? Basically, what is the purpose of each major chunk/paragraph of the passage. 2d. The tone: how does the author feel about the main idea… do they feel anything? Sometimes the answer is no! But if yes, how do they feel; positive or negative? And at what level of intensity? Excited or cautiously optimistic? Not in favor of an idea or hesitant of its implementation? This can also apply to groups or people also within the passage; how do the two groups feel, such as about each other? 2e. However, we should ignore detail: anything that provides more description or further depth we want to ignore. We are looking for big ideas, and we don't want small ideas to cloud our judgment of what the passage is really about. We find these "big ideas" by: 2ei. Only reading sentences in each passage that we know will be relevant to the purpose, main idea, organization, and tone. These major sentences include first and last sentences of a paragraph and sentences with transition words. (Transition words include "however," "in contrast," "therefore," "as a result," "but," "since," "should," "must," etc...) These words indicate we should read the whole sentence. On the other hand, a "for example" or a "first, second, or third" should indicate that we DON'T want to read the sentence. Additionally, if we see a "?", we should read the question and the sentence after it to find the answer. 2eii. Interpret as you go: at the end of each paragraph summarize it in a few words (such as 5 to 8 words per paragraph). What did it say? What role does it serve in the passage as a whole? Also pause at each transition word: what's the part of the sentence before the transition word doing compared to the part after the transition word? Incorporate that shift into your summaries. These "interpretations" or "summaries" are a great way to help answer many of the questions or to guide you back to the appropriate segment in which it is discussed. *Note: many questions associated with one paragraph passages are associated heavily with determining the structure of the passage. So use what you know about these "interpretations" or "summaries" to your advantage. 3a. Wrong answers are usually traps: once we have finished reading/skimming/summarizing a multiple question passage we can now read the questions. And yet, just like with the single question passages, we are not going to read the possible answers just yet. Why's that? Well, wrong answers on reading comprehension questions often use language either directly from the passage or closely related to the passage to trick you into picking them; they are meant to look right to someone who is trying to match the correct answer choice to the text. However, these trap answer choices are often unrelated to the question, assumptions that don't have adequate support, or even opposite the correct answer. 3b. The secret to avoiding these wrong answer traps is to make a prediction BEFORE looking at the answer choices. This means that we read the passage and questions while completely ignoring the answer choices and only make a guess in your own words for what the correct answer choice should be like. 3c. If it's a question based on a single question passage we should try to make a prediction as we read. If it is a general question based on a multiple question passage we should be able to make our prediction without having to look back through the passage too much. If it is a more specific question on a multiple question passage, we should look for the anwer in the passage and then make a prediction. Now only when we have finished making our prediction should we look at the answer choices. 4 What types of questions are there on reading comprehension? Which ones are general and which ones are specific? What do they look like and what do their answer choices look like so we can accurately predict an answer? The types of question categories are: 4a. Analyzing text structure and purpose questions: this question type asks about the passage or a part of the passage. These questions often feature language like, "purpose," "function," or "role" in the question stem and have very vague language in the answer choices. These questions can be very general or specific. For general questions, we will likely be able to find our answers from our "interpretations," but for more specific questions, we will probably have to read around that area of the passage. 4b. Select a passage questions: these questions are just a variation of 4a; rather than asking what the purpose of a part of the text is, these questions give us the purpose and ask which part of the text fulfills that purpose. We would approach these questions just like we would those in 4a. 4c. Analyzing word choice questions: these are similar to 4a in that they ask us to identify how small sections of a passage help convey larger messages within the passage. However, these questions feature much more specific language in the answer choices. 4d. Big picture questions: these are always general and deal more directly with the topic of the passage. So rather than why is the passage written, these will ask what the passage is about. These are usually easier. These types of questions can be pinpointed because they use language like "main point" and have more precise language in the answer choices. These should typically be able to predict the answer from an effective skim of the passage. 4e. Perspective questions: these questions want us to find the perspective or the tone of someone from the passage. These might ask what someone in the passage may agree or disagree with, what their attitude or point of view is, or what someone believes. These questions should be exactly what we are looking for when we are skimming for tone and so these should not require too much digging. 4f. Words and phrases in context questions: these ask the reader to determine the meaning of a word or phrase within the specific context of the passage, generally for a word or phrase that could have multiple accurate meanings in other contexts. These questions are pretty formulaic and generally require us to read around the word or phrase in question. 4g. Reading closely questions: these ask the reader to read closely for specific details, often focusing on single sentences or pieces of single sentences. These will usually give us a reference of where to look for the answer, and yet, sometimes they will not. In such instances, we can use our summaries to guide us or skim quickly back through looking for key words from the question. These questions often use language such as, "according the passage," or "the author states." 4h. Inference questions: these ask us to read between the lines: what is the passage not saying directly, but still must be true, 100% of the time, based on what it is saying directly. These are about as specific as 4g questions. However, they do not use the same "matter-of-fact" language. Instead, they ask what the passage infers or suggests, or they will refer to underlying assumptions. 4i. Application questions: these ask us to take the information in the text and apply them to new situations. These require us to have a really complete understanding of the passage, like 4d, then ask us to push past the bounds of the passage. These can be identified by words like "application," the concepts of "strengthening," "weakening," or providing support for an argument or conclusion, and the phrase "if true."

Reading comprehension/passage overview: 1. 1-6 questions 2. Longer passage = more questions 3. Multiple choice formats 3a. Select 1/5 choices 3b. Select 1/3 choices 3c. Select-in-passage Passage reading strategy: 1. One question passage --> read question first then read passage for answer 2. Two+ question passage --> read passage first by skimming 2a. Purpose? (i.e. arguing point, explaining concept, comparing conflicting view points, analyzing a course of action… the big verb of the passage) 2b. Main idea, what is the passage about? Is it big, small, or very small picture?... what the main focus of the passage is 2c. Structure (i.e. starting with background info of a trend, digging into historical trends, then projecting that trend into the future?... or argument, counterpoint, then rebut that counterpoint?... or hypothesis, methods of study, then results and implications of that study?... what is the purpose of each major chunk of the passage) 2d. Tone, how does the main author feel about the idea… does he feel anything? What level of intensity? (Yes, no, positive, negative, excited, cautiously optimistic, not in favor of an idea or hesitant of its implementation. How do the two political groups feel about each other.) 2e. Avoid detail, by skim reading! (Anything that provides more description or further depth.) We want big ideas, not small ideas to cloud our judgment of what the passage is really about. We do this by: 2ei. Only read first, last, and transition sentences (Transition words are: however, in contrast, therefore, as a result, but, since, should, must.. indicate we should focus on that sentence) Also sentences with ?s and following sentences to find the answer. 2eii. At the end of each paragraph summarize it in a 5-8 words… what did it say, what role does it serve in the passage as a whole… also pause at each transition, noting what is before and after the transition 2eiii. Do not read: for example, first, second, third, Interpretation as you go tool overview: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3_IeJKtYsR6pMk. *main idea of passage is typically what is covered in your summaries Question answering strategy 1. Avoid trap answers by reading the question and making a prediction first. Question types 1. Analyzing text structures and purpose, asks about the purpose of the passage or part of the passage. (What is the goal of this information? Whatdoes it do? Argue, compare, highlight an example, elaborate on a concept, answer a question?... purpose, function, role in the the question stem.

The GRE Reading Comprehension section checks if you can understand, analyze, and figure out ideas from what you read. It has passages you read, followed by questions. These questions test if you get what you read, can guess things, and put ideas together. PassPyschometric academy prepared me, and they say doing well means reading efficiently, understanding big ideas, spotting important details, and understanding why the author wrote it. To do better, practice with different texts, learn how to manage time, and pay attention to the material you read.

Infact, it only asks a maximum of 3 questions per passage. And I had a question, seeing as you scored 170, was it feasible for you to 'write down' the conclusion of every para(long passages) in the scratch sheet given the time constraints?

I know for at least my sake I wouldn't want to spend money on their prep, seeing as how they can't even respond to people's questions. She has good tips, but examples would be more beneficial instead of just speaking for 15min straight. Further the detail just a little to expound on what you are explaining.... just my opinion.
