GRE Verbal Reasoning

Two section-adaptive Verbal sections: 12 questions in 18 minutes, then 15 in 23. Reading Comprehension (RC), Text Completion, Sentence Equivalence. Section 1 is high leverage. We train vocabulary in context and passage discipline — not flashcard cosplay.

Section Structure

What You Face

  • Section 1: 12 questions · 18 minutes
  • Section 2: 15 questions · 23 minutes (difficulty influenced by section 1)
  • Text Completion (TC), Sentence Equivalence (SE), and Reading Comprehension (RC) interleaved—vocabulary in context + reasoning

How to Train

  • Build context-first vocab habits (not flashcards alone)
  • For Sentence Equivalence (SE): both correct answers must produce equivalent meaning
  • Reading Comprehension (RC): map structure; prove answers with passage evidence

Content Areas

Text Completion

1–3 blanks; use logic of the sentence before hunting hard words.

Sentence Equivalence

Pick two choices that yield the same meaning; synonyms aren’t enough if nuance differs.

Reading Comprehension

Short and long passages; inference, purpose, structure, detail.

Section-Adaptive Mindset

Protect accuracy on section 1; manage time without panicking hard items.

Deep Clinic: Vocabulary in Context

TC/SE logic before lexicon, charge-and-foil study method, and a 12-minute drill — not a 2,000-word dump.

GRE Verbal Practice Set

Best for: Verbal skill builders

TC/SE/RC practice with section-adaptive clocks and logic-first rationales.

You are a shorter-GRE Verbal coach. Create a practice set.

EASY START: Copy → send with zero edits. Use the default set below. Override topic only if you want (one optional line).

Default set (send as-is): 8 Text Completion / Sentence Equivalence items.

OPTIONAL — skip freely (1 line max):
- Different topic than the default? One line:

HARD CONSTRAINTS:
- Shorter GRE Verbal: Sec1 12Q/18m, Sec2 15Q/23m (section-adaptive)
- TC/SE: logic of the sentence, not obscure trivia definitions alone
- RC: short GRE-style passage + questions; evidence-based answers
- Not official ETS items; PowerPrep = score truth

DELIVER
1) Items Easy/Medium/Hard with choices where required
2) Answer key + rationales (quote RC evidence)
3) Common traps (half-right, polarity reverse, out of scope)
4) Time budget for this set + how it maps to Sec1 vs Sec2 clocks
5) 3 follow-up drill templates
