The GRE Graduate Record Exam is undergoing significant changes starting August 2011, prompting Barron's to release a thoroughly revised test prep manual that aligns with the new exam format. While the Analytical Writing section remains largely the same, the Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections introduce new question types. In Verbal Reasoning, test takers will encounter two new sentence completion types: sentence equivalence questions requiring two correct answers for credit, and text completion questions involving passages with up to three blanks. Additionally, reading comprehension questions may now have multiple correct answers, with some requiring the selection of individual sentences from passages. In Quantitative Reasoning, the section retains standard multiple-choice and quantitative comparison questions, while adding new types: multiple-choice questions with more than one correct answer that must all be selected, and numeric entry questions that do not provide answer choices. Barron's manual includes intensive practice and review for all question types, a diagnostic test, and two full-length model GREs complete with answer keys and explanations. The authors also provide a test overview and essential chapters on test-taking strategies.
