Strategy - Using Splits
Summary
The module introduces a strategic approach to tackling sentence correction on the GRE, emphasizing efficiency and accuracy through the use of splits.
- The worst approach to sentence correction is to read each answer choice in detail, which is time-consuming and ineffective.
- Using splits involves identifying differences among the answer choices to quickly eliminate incorrect options, focusing on grammatical, logical, or rhetorical issues.
- Initially, read the prompt carefully to understand its meaning and note any apparent problems.
- Scan the answer choices vertically to spot differences and group them based on common errors, allowing for the elimination of multiple choices at once.
- After narrowing down the options, if time permits, plug the final choice back into the sentence to ensure it is the correct answer.
