\nText Completions are notoriously difficult\u2014that\u2019s even if you know all the words in the answer choices. Beyond vocabulary, you will need a lot of practice with this question type. Below are eight questions to help you gauge where you stand, as far as Text Completions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To really get the most out of this challenge, you should use the following grading system. Give yourself (+1 for easy, +2 for medium, +4 for hard, and +6 for very hard). Next, on a scale from 1-5, \u20181\u2019 being the least confident and \u20185\u2019 being supremely confident, rate how confident you are with your answer choice. If you answer the question correctly, multiply your confidence level by the difficulty level of the question.<\/p>\n

For instance, if you answer the medium question correctly and have a confidence level of a \u20185\u2019 (before looking at the answers of course), you will get +10 points. Conversely, had you answered the medium question incorrectly, you would have gotten -10 points.<\/p>\n

To provide another example, let\u2019s say you answer the difficult question and have a confidence rating of \u20184\u2019, yet miss the very difficult question and have a confidence level of a \u20183\u2019, then you will end up losing 2 points: (4×4) \u2013 (3×6) = -2. If you decide to skip the question, you simply get zero points.<\/p>\n

Finally, if you can finish all the questions below in less than 10 minutes, reward yourself +20.<\/p>\n
