The Graduate Record Examination or GRE was significantly revised in the last half of 2011, reducing all previous preparation materials down to poor quality. This book is a collection of items designed to help the student to prepare for this critical test.

According to the authors, the Analytical Writing portion of the test if more focused and features more detailed instructions, the Verbal Reasoning portion now places a greater emphasis on reading comprehension and ability to reason with written material, and the Quantitative Reasoning portion test competence with basic math but now places a greater emphasis on applying quantitative skills to real-world scenarios...Read more
