<p>Does anyone know how I can do the 5 sentence completion and 6 sentence completion questions in under 2 minutes? Are there any approaches for the double gap or single gap or general approaches to questions that you started using that allowed you to speed up considerably? </p>
<p>Thanks for the help- really need it</p>
<p>Sorry about the thread title; I didn’t check the grammar!</p>
<p>Really just process of elimination. If one of them for sure doesn’t work, eliminate the choice altogether</p>
<p>hmm. This is what I do for both single and double gaps but still I can’t get down to 1 min or less. I POE, pay attention to clue words and triggers etc, but I am missing something. How do people do it in 30 seconds lol</p>
<p>grasp the meaning of each sentence and see if 2 blanks have the contrasting meanings or not. There is no need for anticipation for sentence completion like what most books state. you really just need to have a strong foundation of vocab and then each question should take less than 20 seconds to do.</p>
<p>but people are doing 6 questions in 30 seconds. </p>
<p>If they are taking 2 minutes for 6 questions then I’m fine.</p>
<p>If you really know the vocab–and if you want a big score, you should–you can FLY through sentcoms. My finishing students do 8 in 1 minute (I know, I time them), which is a great advantage, saving extra time for long passages & line verification.</p>
<p>impressive - so is it just vocab then, or is there anything else I can do to increase my speed other than vocab</p>
<p>I have to say though the 8 question sentence completions are generally- I find- easier than the 5 sentence completions. This may be the case for only me, but I dont know why</p>
