ABOUT THIS BOOK
If you don’t have a pencil in your hand, get one now! Don’t just read this book—write on it, study it,
scrutinize it! In short, for the next four weeks, this book should be a part of your life. When you have
finished the book, it should be marked-up, dog-eared, tattered and torn.
Although the GRE is a difficult test, it is a very learnable test. This is not to say that the GRE is “beatable.”
There is no bag of tricks that will show you how to master it overnight. You probably have already realized
this. Some books, nevertheless, offer "inside stuff" or "tricks" which they claim will enable you to beat the
test. These include declaring that answer-choices B, C, or D are more likely to be correct than choices A or
E. This tactic, like most of its type, does not work. It is offered to give the student the feeling that he or she
is getting the scoop on the test.
The GRE cannot be “beaten.” But it can be mastered—through hard work, analytical thought, and by
training yourself to think like a test writer.
The GRE math sections are not easy—nor is this book. To improve your GRE math score, you must be
willing to work; if you study hard and master the techniques in this book, your score will improve—
significantly.
The 23 math tests in this book will introduce you to numerous analytic techniques that will help you
immensely, not only on the GRE but in graduate school as well. For this reason, studying for the GRE can
be a rewarding and satisfying experience.
