GRE Sentence Equivalence Strategy

Published October 11, 2026 · 7 views

Sentence Equivalence asks you to pick two answers that complete the sentence and give the same meaning.

Key Points

  1. Predict the answer before reading the choices
  2. Find two words that are synonyms
  3. Both must make sense
  4. Do not pick two words that are similar but change the meaning
  5. Eliminate unmatched words

Expert Tip

If a word has no synonym among the options, it is probably wrong.
