CF India portal: Significance of Reading for the GRE


CF India Portal dignified the benefits of reading many, many times, as it’s truly one of the best ways to improve your verbal score. Reading helps build your vocabulary. It teaches you how to use words in context. It introduces you to complex sentence structures and improves your comprehension. Dare I say, it makes you a more educated and intelligent person. However, many students simply don’t take the time to read, and instead choose to focus on more obvious GRE study methods- taking practice tests, memorizing words and formulas, and the like. While these tasks are important too, reading should also be a part of your routine. Below, you’ll find links to articles about reading. Hopefully, they’ll inspire you to make reading a daily part of your life, too.
1. An Ode to Reading: In this blog entry, CF India Portal discusses the importance of reading not only for the improvement of our intelligence, but also for the enhancement of our emotions and our knowledge of ourselves.

2. JSTOR begins offering free access to its online academic library: JSTOR is an online digital library that contains thousands of scholarly articles.  You’ll find hundreds and hundreds of GRE-level articles here.  As a History major at UC Berkeley, I used (and loved) JSTOR on a very frequent basis. So I was thrilled to hear that I could gain free, albeit limited, access to JSTOR by signing up for its Register & Read program, which is discussed in this link.

3. An app that helps you read faster?: This Business Insider article highlights an app called ReadQuick that claims to help you read faster.  Although I have yet to try it, it seems like it could be good for those who find it hard to complete the verbal section in the allotted time.
