For students who lack
the time, money, and inclination to read an 800-page guide or complete
an expensive test
preparation class, we offer a shorter, cheaper, and more direct approach
to GRE preparation.
Guerrilla Tactics
for the GRE: Secrets and Strategies the Test Writers Don’t Want You
to Know
(ISBN 9781933819332) provides the most important tips and strategies that
you will need to know to get a top score;
it also gives practical advice to help you conquer the typical traps and
pitfalls that the test takers will inevitably throw
your way.
At this point, you
may be wondering if you really need our publication. Throughout your life,
your firends and professors
have told you
that the only secret to acing the GRE is being a whiz in the classroom;
if you can read fast and handle
complex math topics, you will do OK. From our experience, they were only
half right. In actuality, getting a top score
on the GRE hinges on TWO factors:
a. Knowing the material
that the exam is designed to test
b. Knowing the tricks of the test writers, who tend to ask the same
types of questions, with the same types of
traps and pitfalls, the same way on every exam
As a student, you spent years in school to master the grammatical and
mathematical concepts that are tested on
the GRE. And, in most cases, there were no tricks or shortcuts to learning
them. But the GRE is a one-of-a-kind beast
that will test these concepts in ways you have never seen before. It will
also confuse and trick you in ways that you
never dreamed possible. That's why so many "great" students
perform poorly on the GRE; they were blindsided by the
tricks and traps of the test writers.
Thankfully, you can
conquer this aspect of the test far easier - and faster - than you learned
basic grammer and math.
With our guide, you will learn
the the tricks of the test writers (and develop a plan to tackle them)
in just a few days.
From our perspective, it is an indispensable step in GRE preparation.
That being said, we
absolutely do NOT want to mislead you about your specific chances for
success on the GRE.
No ethical author or publication can guarantee that a reader will get
a perfect score if (s)he follows a particular strategy
or approach. Your performance on the GRE will depend, to a certain extent,
on factors that are beyond our control, such
as your:
1. ability to read
and comprehend dense passages quickly and critically
2. overall math and geometry skills
3. extemporaneous writing skills
4. working vocabulary
5. basic command of grammar and punctuation
6. tenacity and stamina on timed exams
Each student brings
a unique set of skills and talents to the exam; as a result, GRE questions
that are hard for one
student may be incredibly easy for another. This is why most one-size-fits-all
approaches to GRE preparation are
inherently doomed to fail.
And that’s why
we’ve taken a different approach in Guerrilla Tactics for the
GRE, which every student can use
to his/her advantage. Although we have compiled an impressive amount of
information in our appendices (including a
review of grammar and math basics and an assortment of vocabulary tools),
our goal is NOT simply to teach you
grammar or math. Instead, we are going to teach you the test itself,
including the tricks, traps and pitfalls that the
GRE writers use to confuse, distract and otherwise deflect your efforts
to answer the questions correctly.
Our goal? To help
you conquer the GRE, whoever you are, whatever your background, however
you choose to prepare
for the exam. Like most battles, preparation and skills are only half
the equation. The other half is knowing your target,
warts and all, before you enter the battlefield.

How significant is
this guide? Until now, we have NEVER endorsed a particular preparation
strategy for the GRE, because of the many flaws that each system entails,
such as high cost, incorrect focus, and needless memorization. Over the
years, we've watched too many well-meaning students take that road.....
with disappointing results.
Instead, after careful
deliberation, we have opted to publish our OWN strategic guide for students
who want critical insight into the GRE. From our experience, few students
can achieve a top score without knowing - and mastering - the test writers'
tricks, traps, and pitfalls. However you choose to prepare for the GRE,
our guide should be an integral part of your program.
