The GRE Graduate Record Exam is changing substantially
starting in August 2011, and Barron''s is now ready with a
thoroughly revised test prep manual that reflects the new exam''s
content. Although the GRE''s Analytical Writing section remains
essentially unchanged, new question types appear in both the GRE''s
Verbal Reasoning and Quantitative Reasoning sections, and the model
tests in Barron''s brand-new 19th edition reflect these
changes:
Verbal Reasoning-- The verbal section now includes two new
sentence completion types: sentence equivalence questions, for
which test takers must identify two correct answers to receive
credit; and text completion questions, some involving passages of
several sentences and requiring test takers to fill in up to three
blanks. Reading comprehension questions may now have more than one
correct answer. Some reading questions will involve selecting
individual sentences with passages.
Quantitative Reasoning-- As in the past, this section contains
standard multiple-choice questions, as well as quantitative
comparison questions. There are two new question types:
multiple-choice questions that have more than one correct answer
choice, each of which has to be selected, and numeric entry
questions, which are the only questions on the test for which no
answer choices are provided.
Barron''s new GRE manual offers intensive practice and review for
all question types plus a diagnostic test and two full-length model
GREs with answer keys and explanations for all questions answered.
The authors also present a test overview and valuable chapters on
test-taking tactics.
