    give idea for solve close test and filler

    1. Suraj

      For cloze test it is important that you should know the meaning of all the words that are given in the options. . So vocabulary is important. Usually general words that we come across daily in newspaper that will help you a lot. For that our daily vocabulary words will be helpful for u. Then secondly when u are attempting a cloze test,first take a glance at the cloze test any try to understand the theme and topic. If the theme is negative u may get more negative words as answer. Similarly if the passage is positive then most of the words will be positive. Then keep an eye on conecting words like but, although etc. Sometimes you will get a clue about the word to be filled by reading the next line.. so keep all this in mind and practise a lot of cloze test

      For sentence filler i.e. the new pattern one, try to understand the complete meaning of the passage. Only then you can attempt such question with 100% accuracy. When u have understood the meaning try to fit all the given options in that blank. U will get the correct ans
      If u have even 1% doubt in any such question just skip it. Practise it
