SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on resources for practicing the revised GRE, specifically the computer-based version introduced after August 1, 2011. Key recommendations include the official ETS PowerPrep II software, which offers two full-length practice tests, and additional resources from Princeton Review, although these are noted to be less reliable. Users are also directed to various ETS links for analytical writing and verbal reasoning samples. The conversation emphasizes the importance of understanding that practice scores will not hold value until the first distribution in November.

Hello all,
Has anyone come across a good resource for practicing for the revised gre (computer based version). I really don't need any math prep. Thank you!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Yeah, ETS offers two full length practice GREs for the new test via their software. I think that Princeton Review also has a few practices though these would be much less reliable, links below:

http://www.princetonreview.com/grad/free-gre-practice-test.aspx

They also have some general samples:

http://www.ets.org/gre/revised_general/prepare/verbal_reasoning

In general you can find more here:

Hope this helps!
Good luck with the Revised GRE and remember that any practice scores have now value until about November when the first distribution comes out. From what I hear it's supposed to be normalized (since the old GRE was skewed left, I think).

Good luck again,
elwin
 
Thanks for taking the time to link me! I should have mentioned that I've looked at the ETS stuff, and I felt it was too little. Isn't there anything else; like a book that covers the computerized version?
 
Barron's and Princeton and Kaplan all have books at Borders/Barnes n Noble, I believe.
 
Do those books cover the computerized version?
