Learn all of the words.

Also, read short stories (novels won’t help you really–you need to be able to come into a short situation and be able to pick up what’s going on in the middle of things) and ask yourself who? when? where? why? how? as you’re reading. Then afterward, reflect on the tone and theme. It’s important to grasp the content on your first read-through so that if you need to answer the questions that ask you to draw a conclusion, you won’t hestitate. You’ll already know what the main idea is, and you’ll be able to rule out good-sounding, non-relevant answers fast. The main idea usually is the key that leads you to the answer, so if you focus on finding that, you’ll be good.
