GRE Verbal Section

Test Preparation
1

<p>I just did the diagnostic test from Barrons today...got a score of 260 in the verbal section!! How is this possible?? I got 580 in the SAT verbal section...not great, but definitely much better than frikkin 260!!</p>

<p>Is it just me, or is the GRE verbal way harder than the SAT verbal?</p>

<p>Got any suggestions to improve my pitiful verbal score? The problem is, I don't seem to know like half the words that come up in those antonym and analogy questions, so I guess I should just expand my vocab? Or are there some tricks that allow me to answer those questions without even knowing the words?</p>

<p>Has anyone ever improved their score by say 300 in just the verbal section before??</p>

<p>If you don’t know half the words, I would imagine learning them would be beneficial. There are a zillion books and programs with GRE vocab.</p>
