To achieve a top score
on the GRE, students should follow a three-step plan of attack:
1. Learn the concepts that are on the test.
2. Learn the tips, traps and strategies of the test writers
3. Learn to work faster and smarter by taking timed practice tests
We address Steps 1 and 2 in our companion publication, Guerrilla
Tactics for the GRE: Secrets
and Strategies the Test Writers Don’t Want You to Know (ISBN:
978-1-933819-33-2). From our
experience, no one should take the GRE without mastering these techniques,
which can make the
difference between a great score and a mediocre one.

Review for the GRE: 1,001 Practice Questions and Answers (ISBN 9781933819426)
addresses
Step 3, which is to build your confidence, speed and test-taking strategies
by taking mock exams under
actual testing conditions. From our experience, working with sample questions
isn’t enough; you need to
attack the questions exactly as they are presented in the GRE.
By design, we have organized 1,001 GRE questions in the identical format
you will see on the exam:
Verbal Sections
present 30 multiple choice questions in one 30-minute segment, including:
Sentence Completion
questions
Analogy questions
Antonym questions
Reading Comprehension questions
Quantitative Sections
present 28 questions in one 45-minute section, including:
Quantitative Comparison
questions
Mathematical Word Problems
Data Interpretation questions
Let’s be honest; the content of the GRE isn’t particularly difficult.
With unlimited time, many
students could attain a top score on the exam. The biggest challenge is
working at a fast enough
pace to:
1. answer as many “easy” questions as possible
2. leave the hardest ones until the end
3. formulate an intelligent strategy for guessing
From our experience, there is no way to accomplish these goals without
working through
hundreds of practice questions under actual testing conditions. Ultimately,
it isn’t only a matter of
timing; it’s developing a plan to maximize your own strengths on
each section of the exam.
And that’s the aspect of test preparation that few “experts”
acknowledge; one size does NOT fit
all. No two students have the same strengths and weaknesses, which means
that no two
preparation plans will be the same. Ultimately, it’s up to YOU to
identify the areas in which you
need work, and to focus your time accordingly. The 1,001 questions and
answers in this
publication are a great start.
Use the information in whatever way makes sense to YOU. If you want to
assess the level of
difficulty of the math questions, use the Quantitative sections as a general
review of the
math topics on the GRE. Check out the typical vocabulary words that show
up in the reading
passages and the sentence completion questions. Note the grammar and word
choice errors that
are tested over and over again on the exam. Don’t stop until you
have them down cold.
Then, before the day of the test, complete several sections under timed
conditions. Give yourself
a few minutes at the end of each section; on the actual GRE, you will
need this time to transfer
your answers to your grid. Make sure that you can work hard enough, smart
enough and fast
enough to earn the score you desire.
