Full Description
Written by our 99th percentile GRE instructors, Manhattan Prep's GRE All the Verbal features in-depth lessons covering the facts, rules, and strategies for every question type on the Verbal section of the GRE.
Note: We've got you covered for the updated GRE! When you create an account on our platform, you will gain access to digital supplements for the parts of the exam that have recently changed—and we'll continuously update your digital materials for any future changes. (We'll also tell you which parts of the printed books you can ignore!)
This edition of GRE All the Verbal has been reorganized to start from the basics—words, in this case—and build to more complex sentences, paragraphs, and passages. You'll learn how to build your vocabulary in an organic way that allows you to use these words in grad school and at work, not just to regurgitate the words for the test. You'll also learn how to deconstruct complex sentences, a skill crucial not just for Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence (aka vocabulary) problems, but also for Reading Comprehension passages. And finally, you'll learn how to parse complicated meaning across multi-sentence blocks of text, a skill you'll need for Reading Comprehension and for multi-blank Text Completions. You'll also learn how to spot and avoid common traps and you'll have plenty of practice problems with detailed answer explanations, all of which have been constructed by our 99th percentile GRE instructors. Finally, you'll learn how to use all of these skills to tackle the AWA (Analytical Writing Assessment) portion of the exam, also known as the essays
