Reading Comprehension has been the one unconquered section on the GRE for a long time now. Do you know why?
No, it is not because it is unconquerable, nor is it too difficult for the average test taker. It is because, there is nobody to tell you how to crack it. Nowhere on the internet will you find an ultimate guide, a one stop shop for all your queries regarding the most dreaded section on the GRE.
Yes, there are some really good guides available all over the internet, but ask yourself one question: Have they really served the purpose? Are they considered as Reading Comprehension Bibles? No, they aren’t. Has anyone ever told you that these guides have changed their lives? No. That is the reason you aren’t able to beat Reading Comprehension to its knees. It is not your fault, but it is due to the lack of an ultimate resource, that is full of proven strategies.
And that is why, we at CrunchPrep, have created a 14,000-word guide that breaks down the steps you need to take to destroy the Reading Comprehension section. Here’s what you will learn in The Ultimate Guide to Destroy GRE Reading Comprehension:

Chapter 3: 7 Trap Answers to Avoid on Reading Comprehension – One of the reasons why students find it difficult to separate the wrong answers from the right ones, is because they fall prey to the trap answers.

Hello CrunchPrep Team,
Firstly …, thanks a lot for this commendable help..!! Saves time and helps planning…!! Impressed..!!!
I’ve a small doubt….
Suppose my score falls in 310-320 range but I apply to schools of 320-330 range.. will it be a good move?
Considering the all the facts like, work experience of 2years, from a leading organization, considerably good projects, good GPA and other acads + extra curriculars ….
Hey Ananya!
Glad you like it. 🙂
And about your question, we have explained it in detail in one of our blog posts. Check it here: http://www.crunchprep.com/gre/2014/universities-based-on-gre-scores. Good luck! 🙂
Hey Sachin!
I loved the blogs in this site. They are so helpful. And I have a doubt too, I have got 61% in my bachelor degree. So will it be a problem in getting admission at universities in US??
I’m really worried about it. Your help or any advice would be a like a boon.
thank you!
Hey Aakash!
Thanks for the kind words. I’m glad you found the blog helpful 🙂
To some extent, your low percentage may be a problem for you. Consistently scoring low percentage over the four years of under-graduation may hinder your chances of getting an admit because colleges want students who are academically proficient. The admissions committee looks at both your academic transcripts and your GRE score together before taking a decision.
So technically, if one goes down (in your case, academics), you can always work on to improve the other (your GRE score). Did you take your GRE already? Or are you planning to take it? If it’s the latter, then I would recommend you to work hard and get a higher score on the GRE.
Also, if your University follows a strict grading system and your low percentage is due to the system in place, then I advise you to get Letters of Recommendation from your professors and make sure they mention where you stand in your department. If your professors says that you are among the top 3 students in the class, then the admissions committee will know about it.
Let me know your GRE score so I can help you further 🙂

The tips are really helpful, i was much more concerned about sentence equivalenve and text completion, lleaving the reading comprehension questions behind. Then i took a powerprep test and i really saw how bad i was on reading comp. i was wasting too much time reading the passage and more than once.
Now i know to do my best. i have 7 weeks prior the test and i’m not and english native, so i have to practice a lot.
Thank’s again for such a quintessential material.
