Cheat Sheet
- Leverage Contextual Clues -
Scan surrounding words and phrases to infer meaning; context often points directly to which words complete the sentence correctly. For example, if a sentence mentions "downloading files," you'll know "uploading" is unlikely to fit (Purdue OWL).
- Master Common Collocations -
Familiarity with word pairs like "compile code" or "install software" helps you choose the correct words to complete the sentence with confidence. Use resources such as the Cambridge Dictionary's collocation finder to practice these frequent tech term combinations.
- Analyze Word Structure -
Break complex terms into prefixes, roots, and suffixes (e.g., "re-" means "again," "-able" means "capable of") to deduce meaning and pick the best option. This morphological strategy is backed by research from the University of Victoria's Writing Department.
- Identify Part of Speech -
Determine if you need a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb by examining the sentence's grammatical framework before choosing the word that best completes the sentence. Oxford Learner's Dictionaries stress that POS recognition cuts down on guesswork and speeds up accurate selection.
- Use the Elimination Technique -
Cross out obviously wrong options first, then compare remaining choices based on nuance and fit; this method sharpens your skills in choosing the correct word under time pressure. It's a proven approach featured in official ETS test-prep materials to boost accuracy and confidence.
