GRE Vocabulary in Practice

GRE Vocabulary in Practice is the only prep book designed entirely to help you bridge the gap between traditional vocabulary study and application to the test. When the GRE was updated in 2012, one of the biggest changes involved the vocabulary section. Instead of focusing on dictionary definitions, the exam now tests words in the context of challenging sentences and short passages. As a result, it's no longer sufficient to memorize long lists of words -- to succeed on the GRE, you must also be able to identify subtle clues and navigate relationships between complex ideas. With comprehensive strategies for tackling both Text Completions and Sentence Equivalences, as well as more than 300 GRE-style practice questions accompanied by in-depth explanations, this book teaches you exactly what to expect when you take the exam.
