GRE Secrets for the NEW GRE! Still ETS is using the ETS Big Book based

collection (see yourself: screen sharing) The questions of RCs have now become

easier as chances of long RCs is minimized Time bound gaming has become very more

relevant which very less people understand Memory no longer an issue for the exam! All major RC areas and ETS’s predilection

is moving move toward critical reasoning (page 56)

Long passages cannot have multiple choice question

Since exam of Verbal in two parts, longer passages cannot fit in

This book is the book of revelations

GRE Math

The best part here is that 800/800 was common(which was 92%) but the new GRE’s math will give you 99%ile

ETS says: The GRE Verbal Reasoning section of the GRE® revised

General Test contains three types of questions:1. Reading Comprehension2. Text Completion3. Sentence Equivalence

Multiple-choice Questions — Select One Answer Choice: These are the traditional multiple-choice questions with five answer choices of which you must select one.

Reading Comprehension Strategy Time in each of 3 types of questions More than one option correct (1/7 vs

1/2) Size of passage Pre knowledge Making notes for direction /

diagramming like T or A or V Importance of triggers Sitters vs time takers

Text Completion Strategy
