Verbal GRE Walkthrough: Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence (340 Tutor)

[@brucewayne5223]

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!

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thanks Batman

[@krish.mehta.3822]

Being a good teacher is not everyone's cup of tea , still you managed to pull it off. Great work.

[@suhriddas8769]

I like how this genius first fills all the blanks with mmms...:3

[@TheTestedTutor]

Haha

[@BlessingDicksonn]

I've watched your videos for only a few days and I must say that I got 13/13 on this video with you. I made sure I paused and answered before you, you've taught me a whole lot. Thank you dear tutor. You're the best.

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thanks Blessing

This is by far the most engaging GRE Verbal video I have ever watched on KZbin. Excellently crafted. And reveals your active thought process for how to think in actual test when time is the key ! First class explanation with high quality content. Keep Doing.👏

[@aakashgill97]

Hi! Please upload more frequently. I like practicing the verbal section from your videos.

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thanks Aakash! At the moment I am uploading almost every other day! Plus a full time job! All for my subscribers...

[@sabrinacampbell4910]

Thank you Philip for ALLL of your videos...I have been watching all videos on youtube that I can find. You and GregMat have had the BEST videos out of all I've watched. I take my exam tomorrow and while I still feel anxious and concerned, you two have helped tremendously!! Thank you again for the great explanations and walkthroughs!

[@TheTestedTutor]

How did it go?

[@tosinghsatyam]

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.

[@TheTestedTutor]

Nice! I will do a full vocab video on this and 100 other high frequency words as a follow-up soon.

[@angel_accel]

PSA: Philip is the best tutor out there!!!

[@TheTestedTutor]

It's Angel! Thank you kindly

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.

[@TheTestedTutor]

Thanks Niraj! Comments like yours make it worth it!

[@sabrinacampbell4910]

Along with your interactions in your comments! Not only do you post helpful videos, but you respond to EVERYONE!

You are amazing to share this, Thanks!

[@mansib2228]

Hey Philip, thanks for the practice video! I got 2 out of the 13 questions wrong.. so that's not too bad! 🙂

[@TheTestedTutor]

Well done Mansi! :)

[@rainstudy6375]

thank you very much as usual for all of these!

[@tosinghsatyam]

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?

[@TheTestedTutor]

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.

[@033_gauravpatel8]

Why do we need opposite word for 'inept' question 19?

[@winning_aadict]

This was really helpful. Thank you sir.

[@TheTestedTutor]

Glad to hear it!

[@prakashbhandari5824]

Wish me luck, I have my exam tomorrow. Feeling really nervous and frightened as well

[@hossainahmedshohag6566]

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

[@sadiamim1973]

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...

[@Balakrishnan-ku4oc]

@The Tested Tutor Could you please help me out where to start from your videos. Gonna learn seriously from today onwards

[@TheTestedTutor]

Watch every one!

[@sireeshapudi4431]

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...

[@balajisharma9980]

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☺

[@nishant551445]

Awesome video thanks

[@TheTestedTutor]

No problem 👍

[@anudeepsanpala5357]

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!

[@darkyami]

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.

[@Balakrishnan-ku4oc]

awesome always the best

Hi , I have a doubt , in the 17th question why it cannot be error/miscalculation.

[@SISANHLABATHI]

Thank you so much

[@badamsuraj2327]

How could you answer 4th 1st black ,might be matches with other than missing from right?!,could you please clarify my doubt

[@muhammadadil5698]

I got 10/13

[@Msdrmanish]

Thank you, sir

[@TheTestedTutor]

Most welcome

[@anjeetanain9557]

Hey Phillip, in 17th question why can't 'error' and 'miscalculation' be the answers?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Because those words are not the true opposite of determinate cause [which means fixed, inevitable]. Opposite is luck/random. Hope that helps Anjeeta

[@venussahu9836]

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.

[@TheTestedTutor]

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

[@venussahu9836]

@@TheTestedTutor sure!! Thank u.

[@lehieu30794]

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)?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Sometimes yes the words like but don't alter the meaning of the overall sentence

[@Ibrahimabubakarr]

Do you believe this practice would be helpful if you are taking the GMAT?

[@TheTestedTutor]

Absolutely

[@arifiqbal4922]

Can you please clear #19? why did you choose opposite words of inept??

[@TheTestedTutor]

*Few* inept means more of X (opposite of inept)

[@Fitness_Sid]

How can encounter big rc in short span of time ?????I l learn alot from you

[@TheTestedTutor]

Not sure I understand?

[@adityapawar4937]

@@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.

[@adityapawar4937]

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?

[@taysiamassie5906]

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

[@taysiamassie5906]

correct answer*

[@TheTestedTutor]

@@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...
