Cracking the GRE

More about the book

The Princeton Review understands that excelling on the GRE requires different skills than achieving high grades in school. Instead of attempting to cover all mathematical and analytical knowledge, it focuses on essential techniques for improving exam scores. This resource teaches test takers to think like the test makers, helping them to identify and eliminate misleading answer choices, master frequently used vocabulary, and effectively utilize strategies like Process of Elimination, Ballparking, and Aggressive Guessing. Readers will find 180 practice questions that reflect the actual exam format, along with a CD-ROM containing four full-length simulated GREs and instant score reporting. Each practice question is designed to mirror the computer-adaptive GRE, with comprehensive explanations for every solution. The book is structured into several sections: an introduction to general strategies, detailed guidance on cracking the verbal section—including analogies, sentence completions, antonyms, and reading comprehension—followed by strategies for the math section, analytic section, and optional writing sample. It concludes with practice sets and answers for further preparation, ensuring readers are well-equipped for the GRE.
