Short on time and unsure where to start? This guide gives you a clear plan, 1,100 practice questions, and three full-length practice tests for the shorter GRE.
You learn how the test is built and how its section-level adaptive scoring works, then master each question type one chapter at a time. Twenty chapters cover text completion, sentence equivalence, reading comprehension, the Analyze an Issue essay, arithmetic, algebra, word problems, geometry, statistics, probability, and your test-day plan.
Then you practice. The book includes 1,100 practice questions with a step-by-step explanation for each one, 12 timed sections, and 3 full-length practice tests that match the current format: one Issue essay, 27 Verbal questions, and 27 Quant questions. The practice test answer keys prove every correct answer and show the trap behind each wrong choice, so every mistake teaches you something. Every explanation is in plain language, so you understand why an answer is right, not just which letter to pick.
You also get a 30-question diagnostic quiz, 12-, 8- and 4-week study plans, the 1–6 essay scoring rubric with sample essays at three score levels and 20 practice prompts, a high-yield formula sheet, an essential vocabulary list of 250 words with definitions and example sentences, a 110-term glossary, an error log, and a score tracker.
Start today and walk into test day knowing exactly what to expect.
