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.
