Focused chapter reviews cover all the information tested on the exam. The author's lively, conversational approach explains the content and structure of the test in a down-to-earth, easy-to-understand style that takes the mystery (and anxiety) out of the GRE. Each review chapter is filled with examples, practice quizzes, sample questions, and drills to reinforce key concepts.

A full-length diagnostic exam is available online so you can pinpoint your strengths and weaknesses as you study. Two full-length, multiple-choice practice tests in the book simulate the actual GRE General Test. Each practice test is balanced to include every type of question, subject area, and skill tested on the exam. Our practice tests replicate the GRE question format, allowing you to assess your skills and gauge your test-readiness.

Two unique practice exams are available online in a timed format with instant scoring, section-level diagnostic analysis, and on-screen detailed explanations of answers. REA offers the most powerful scoring and diagnostic tools available today. Automatic scoring and instant reports help you zero in on the topics and types of questions that give you trouble now, so you'll succeed when it counts.

Every practice exam comes with detailed feedback on every question. We don't just say which answers are right - we explain why the other answer choices are wrong - so you'll be prepared on test day.

400 skill-building practice questions with detailed answers are also included online.

Only REA combines test-taking strategies from the experts with extensive practice and focused review. This test prep is a must-have for all grad school candidates taking the GRE!
