remember any previous experience you have had with the word. If not, guess, and continue to the next question. STRATEGIES TO REMEMBER • Do not waste time reading the sentences. Immediately look for the underlined word and search for a synonym among the answer choices. • The sentence will not help you understand the meaning of the underlined word. • Analyze words quickly. Don't spend too much time studying word roots, prefixes, and suffixes. • Work quickly, but carefully. Conserve time for the second part of Section 3. Try to spend only 30 seconds on each question. • Words that contain similar sounds and spelling are usually not correct answers. • Always answer every question. If you must guess, choose (B) or (C) as your answer. CHAPTER 3 IMPROVING YOUR TOEFL VOCABULARY READ A LOT
