Editorial Review: Book Description: GRE Verbal Workout is the only book on the market devoted exclusively to raising students' scores on the demanding verbal section of the GRE Features proven techniques for acing the analogy, reading comprehension, antonym, and sentence completion sections of the test Contains the Hit Parade--a computer-generated list of more than 300 words that most frequently appear on the GRE Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good for practiceThis book provides good GRE verbal strategies along with lots of practice exercises to help you really internalize them. It's superior to the Kaplan verbal book, which has easier content and less of it. Plus, PR gives you a step-by-step method to use on each question type. Kaplan's recommendations are more general and thus harder to actually put into use. I also like the fact that PR emphasizes process of elimination, which is essential on the harder verbal questions. The flaws of ... Read More Rating:  - ok but I expected more...This book was ok in preparation for the GRE. I appreciated the test taking strategies that I still use today. I'm sure that I would be more satisfied if I put more effort into the verbal section of the exam. I purchased the book for the Hit Parade, but I think the book would have been more useful if the list was longer. My piece of advice is to start verbal practice as early as you can and use the ETS CD-ROM. Rating:  - Needs to be updated. Quickly.This review is aimed at those in the upper scoring echelon of the population. If you are getting 200 and wish to improve by a few hundred, this book can help, as most books will. But for those of us who score in the 650+ range who want to shoot for an 800, you need to read this with caution. A lot of the techniques, while timeless in a general way, do need to be modified for the recent exam. This book was published in 1997 and it's getting long in the tooth. Pick up the PR 2003 GRE ...

It offers techniques on how to learn new words , how to handle the verbal sections and also has a 300-word hit list . I would have rated this book with a 5-star review if the word list was larger . Still ..a good value for your money Rating:  - Effective techniques, learnable in a few weeksAs a result of using this book, my GRE verbal score improved from 250 (1%ile) to 610 (86%ile) in one month. The GRE has nothing to do with what you learned in college, and everything to do with the techniques outlined in this book. Learn how to get the reading-comp questions right without actually reading the passages. Learn how to get the analogies and even antonyms right without knowing most of the words. Each chapter of the book is geared to a particular type of question. Each chapter starts ... Read More
