How do I solve GRE Text Completion questions?

Read the entire sentence first and predict what should go in each blank before looking at the answer choices. Use context clues like contrast words ('however,' 'despite') and continuation words ('moreover,' 'and') to determine the direction of each blank. After selecting your answers, re-read the entire sentence with your words plugged in to make sure it makes sense as a whole.
