FAQ

Most test prep books teach the following strategy: read the whole passage, take detailed notes, and try to understand every piece of what's going on. Then, apply those notes to the questions, taking special note of the language in the answer choices. Yada yada yada.
This is not a good strategy for RC. Now, it works fine for people who write test prep books, as they already know the passages by the time they write their books. But, it doesn't work for students, who get only a few precious minutes to tackle ridiculously long, difficult passages, and can't afford to take detailed notes on some line that might not even show up in the questions.
This book isn't written from the perspective of a test prep instructor. It's written from a student's perspective: from someone who has taken the GRE themselves, and developed easy-to-learn strategies for the RC questions. This book respects your time: both in terms of what you get out of the book, and in terms of the limited time you get for each RC question.
Once you've mastered the questions in this book, you can expect to be able to fluently proceed through any Reading Comprehension passage on the GRE with no pauses or hesitations.
Once you've solidified the process on a few timed sections from the actual ETS questions, you'll be able to consistently go through entire practice tests and only get one or two questions wrong on RC.

"This GRE Verbal Strategy guide was incredibly helpful in distilling down the complexities of the VR section into simple tactics that test takers can use to rapidly get through the VR sections without losing any accuracy. It was because of this guide that I was able to achieve my target Verbal on the actual GRE. Highly recommend this guide."
