1. First study the sentence. Your purpose is to determine what is needed to complete the sentence correctly.
2. Then study each answer based on how well it completes the sentence. Eliminate answers that do not complete the sentence correctly.
3. Do not try to eliminate incorrect answers by looking only at the answers. The incorrect answers are generally correct by themselves. The incorrect answers are generally incorrect only when used to complete the sentence.
4. Never leave any answers blank. Be sure to answer each question even if you are unsure of the correct response.
5. Do not spend too much time on the structure questions. Be sure to leave adequate time for the written expression questions.
Introduction to the Structure Questions
Questions 1 through 15 test your knowledge of the correct structure of English sentences. They are multiple choice questions in which you must choose the letter of the answer that best completes the sentence.
Example:
..... is taking a trip to New York.
(A) They
(B) When
(C) The woman
(D) Her
In this example, you should notice immediately that the sentence has a verb (is taking) and that the verb needs a subject. Answer (B) and (D) are incorrect because when and her are not subjects. In answer (A) they is a subject but they is plural and the verb is taking is singular. The correct answer is (C), the woman can be a singular subject. You should therefore choose answer (C).
