This is a great question, whether you’ve taken the old GRE or are just embarking on your GRE journey. The short answer is that the new GRE test is still adaptive, but in a very different way. The Adaptive Nature of the Revised GRE On the old GRE, the test adapted within each section. […]
Back in August, amidst all the fanfare of the inauguration of the Revised GRE, I totally overlooked one of the new question types in my blog posts: Highlight the Sentence. Perhaps such an omission shouldn’t be surprising. For one there was the triple-blank sentence completion, which in all its glorious novelty (at least from a […]
Over the last few days, I’ve had a spate of replies and questions regarding a recent post : Bye, Bye to Obscure Vocabulary. I thought the post itself would be obscure, with only a few taking note; but, in the end, it has turned out to be quite a contentious issue! There were some discussions […]
Is the New GRE Verbal Easier? I have a friend—let’s call him Tom—who subscribes to the New Yorker, the Economist, and the Atlantic Monthly. Weekly, he diligently works his way through the major articles and, as a result, is conversant on a variety of issues. In days past, people used to exchange lengthy emails, discussing anything from […]
Ten years ago, you closed that SAT book for good, using it as nothing more than a dust collector in the corner of your room. Well, it may just be time to dust the cover off and take a trip down memory lane. That’s right—a great resource for GRE prep is the College Board book by […]

For those of you wondering whether to take the GRE, here is a type of question called Sentence Equivalence. The question is similar to today’s GRE Sentence Completions. However, Sentence Equivalence Questions have two possible answers, both of which have to complete the sentence in a way that gives the sentence the same meaning. Most […]
A text completion is one of the new question types on the GRE. It is similar to a sentence completion, but has a few important differences. For one, there can be multiple sentences in a text completion. In fact, the text completion may sometimes run on for an entire paragraph. That’s because some text completions […]
The short answer is yes. You can return to any question within a section. The real question is, how does this inform your strategy? One camp says that unless you have plenty of time remaining, which most won’t, you should work through each question as efficiently as possible without planning to return. If you don’t […]
Concept-wise, I would say the math section is business as usual, save for two things: coordinate geometry and the quadratic equation. While parabolas are tested on the current GRE, they are oddball questions, geometry outliers in the usually slew of right triangle and circle problems. In the revised GRE book, an entire section is devoted […]
