A method for Text Completion.
Read for the sentence's logic first
Before looking at the choices, decide what the blank must mean from the sentence's own clues: the contrast words, the cause and effect, the examples. The right answer is set by the sentence, not by which word sounds most sophisticated.
Predict, then match
Put your own word in the blank, then find the choice closest to it. This stops you from being talked into a wrong answer that merely sounds impressive.
Two and three blanks interact
Lock the blank you are most sure of first, then use it to constrain the others. There is no partial credit, so every blank has to be right.
