Best Books of GRE Verbal Section?

We Answered:

Buy all the well known names like Kaplan, Princeton, etc. and just do all of the practice exams over and over again. A big part of the verbal is having a strong vocabulary, knowing the meaning of obscure words.

Matthew Said:

hi.. I want to kno from where does ETS take questions for the GRE verbal section.?

We Answered:

ofcourse from DICTIONARY, but ETS has one official GRE prep course book, and its too costly. SO if u have enough money buy that one or other wise just buy BARRONS and one more cheap GRE book, that will be enough.

BUT dont forget BARRONS.

GRE Best Books for Verbal Section?

We Answered:

I agree that GRE: Practicing to Take the General Test 10th Edition is a good book to have. The first thing you should read and work through is Barron's GRE book. They have a huge wordlist in there for you to memorize. Once you've memorized them all, then start drilling into the questions. If you need help after all that, get your hands on the GRE Big Book. It's out of print, but if you're desperate enough I'm sure you can find it somewhere.

Lillian Said:

What's wrong with me? I have trouble focusing.?

We Answered:

It sounds like you take an analytical approach to problem solving and so you need to think about both sides of an issue and weigh the pros and cons in a reasoned and unhurried manner.

I think that approach is the best one when we have the time for deep analysis. However, in a test environment, time is your enemy. You need to develop coping mechanisms to do well on the tests, not necessarily to do well in life. There is a huge difference.

I'lll give you a few suggestions to improve your performance in the test environment. For one, quickly glance over the entire text and memorize several key words or phrases which capture the principle assumptions and conclusions.

Then, reread the text and amplify those keywords with two or three pieces of supporting material. With that information at your fingertips, you should then be able to answer any questions about the text to the best of your current knowledge which was gleaned at the granularity that you have time to dedicate to the task.

Trust your analytical skills in this hurried environment, give the best answer you can based on what you gleaned quickly from the text, and then move on quickly to the next question and apply that same methodology to that new question.
