| Publisher Description: Thinking of going to graduate school in the United States? An essential step is to achieve an acceptable score on the GRE (Graduate Record Exam). The GRE is a challenging test for everyone. The verbal section can be especially difficult for students whose first language is not English. You need a guide This guidebook concentrates on two parts of the verbal section: Sentence Equivalence and Text Completion. A top score on these two parts of the test depends on a knowledge of advanced vocabulary. This is not the vocabulary students of English typically encounter in their language classes.
