Which one is better?
New GRE is not dependent on non-context vocab, gives a change to get 99%ile in math, as 800/800 is old is still 92%ile
More focus on RC and FIB More than once choices correct questions Along with this, I will be working on GRE
Big book: RCs and Sentence Completion which remains the same.
And also vocab learning techniques which will be the same.
GRE Secrets for the NEW GRE! Still ETS is using the ETS Big Book based
collection (see yourself: screen sharing) The questions of RCs have now become
easier as chances of long RCs is minimized Time bound gaming has become very
more relevant which very less people understand
Memory no longer an issue for the exam! All major RC areas and ETS’s predilection
remains exactly the same Importance of Sitters has increased

How to read OGG
Bible for the exam A publication by ETS One thing comes out that the exam
is moving move toward critical reasoning (page 56)
Long passages cannot have multiple choice question
Since exam of Verbal in two parts, longer passages cannot fit in
This book is the book of revelations
GRE Math
The best part here is that 800/800 was common(which was 92%) but the new GRE’s math will give you 99%ile
ETS says: The GRE Verbal Reasoning section of the GRE® revised
General Test contains three types of questions:1. Reading Comprehension2. Text Completion3. Sentence Equivalence
Multiple-choice Questions — Select One Answer Choice: These are the traditional multiple-choice questions with five answer choices of which you must select one.
Multiple-choice Questions — Select One or More Answer Choices: These provide three answer choices and ask you to select all that are correct; one, two or all three of the answer choices may be correct.
Select-in-Passage: The question asks you to click on the sentence in the passage that meets a certain description.
Reading Comprehension Strategy
Time in each of 3 types of questions More than one option correct (1/7 vs
1/2) Size of passage Pre knowledge Making notes for direction /
diagramming like T or A or V Importance of triggers Sitters vs time takers
Text Completion Strategy
Tone Direction of the passage Diagramming and symbols Political language Paraphrasing Checking flow at the end Grammar(parts of speech) / active-
passage / idiomatic usage ie parallelism
