<p>It’s downright trivial besides the killer vocab (antonyms, analogies, sentence completion sections). All that’s left is the reading comprehension section. Being a speaker of English for a few years is sufficient here. Anyone that can’t do that section is hopeless for a PhD in an English-speaking country. It’s reading comprehension… lol. I don’t think there are any “tricks” - it’s all about understanding, which comes from sustained use of the language.</p>
