In preparing for Sentence Completions, you will hone your grammar, logic, and vocabulary skills, as well as practice specific methods for answering these items correctly and efficiently. Remember, too, that in preparing for Sentence Completions, you’re also preparing for the rest of the Critical Reading test. Paragraph- and passage-level item sets in this section depend partially on the sentence-level reading skills and vocabulary you’ll be strengthening by reading this book. Much like musical proficiency, writing proficiency depends on having good role models (listen to the greats; read only the best writing) cultivating top-notch skills, and practice, practice, practice.

On to the practice items!
