The PowerScore GRE Verbal Reasoning Bible is the most comprehensive book available for the verbal portion of the GRE. Other companies offer guides that combine the math and verbal sections, usually only briefly addressing Verbal Reasoning, or they split the verbal segment by question type, requiring readers to purchase multiple books for the same section of the GRE. The GRE Verbal Reasoning Bible, however, dedicates the entirety of its 473 pages to detailed solution strategies for attacking Text Completion, Sentence Equivalence, and Reading Comprehension questions. It’s the ultimate proven resource for learning powerful methodologies to increase your knowledge, speed, confidence, and ultimately your score on this highly intimidating portion of the GRE.

• Instructions for deconstructing the four types of question stems in Text Completion and Sentence Equivalence questions
