So you re thinking about graduate school， eh? Maybe you re still in college phm-<br > ning ahead， or maybe you ve been out of school for a few years figuring now s a<br >good time to return to get that advanced degree. Anyway， you re going to have to<br >take the GRE， the "SAT" for graduate school.<br > A lot of people think that because the GRE is so similar to tile SAT they d.n t<br >need to do much preparation. After all， they took the SAT already. How different<br >can the GRE be?<br > Very different.<br > While there are many similarities between the two tests， there are also many<br >important differences. As you might have expected， the GRE verbal sections require<br >more advanced vocabulary than the SAT verbal. But perhaps you didn t know that<br >GRE math is actually easier~than SAT math. Paradoxically， that makes the math<br >harder! How long ago did you add two fractions， or use the Pythagorean theorem?<br >Did you know that while the SAT penalizes errors， the GRE doesn t? And of course<br >you know that the GRE has two logic sections. Or did you?<br > Don t kid yourself. While you are older and wiser than you were when you took<br >the SAT， tbo test is correspondingly more difficul And you re probably rusty; it s<br >been a while since you had to fig in ovals with a No. 2 pencil.<br > How is The Princeton Review different from other GRE courses? Well， the<br >bottom line difference is that Princeton Review students improve more than other<br >students. Much more，<br > How do we do it? Some coaches require you to memorize dozens of math<br >theorems and thousands of words. In short， they get you to learn every little fact that<br >could possibly show up on the GRE， without providing any focus.<br > The Princeton Review， on the other hand， knows how busy you are. We realize<br >that in a month or two there is simply no way you could master every word and<br >.~very theorem and every game that could possibly show up on your GRE.<br > So instead we focus on the concepts that appear the most frequently on the GRE.<br >Fhis information is surprisingly limited. These key concepts can be mastered in a<br >nonth or two.<br > And we go a step further， After teaching you the most important material， we<br >each you how to attack quesdons when you don t know all the informadon. For<br >~xample， Princeton Review students know how to attack an analogy when they<br >lon t know all the words. Do you? Princeton Review students know how to attack<br >t geometry question when they can t remember all of their theorems. Do you?<br > Reading this book is not enough. You ll have to practice our techniques on<br >tctual GREs. An indispensable companion to this book is Practicing to Take the<br >
