The "Official GRE® Verbal Reasoning Practice Questions, Volume One" and the "Official GRE® Quantitative Reasoning Practice Questions, Volume One" provide more in-depth practice for test takers and perfectly complement  "The Official Guide to the GRE® revised General Test, Second Edition."

Each guide provides 150 never-before-published questions with complete explanations, and valuable hints and tips. The verbal guide also includes brand new sample tasks for the GRE Analytical Writing Measure while the quantitative guide includes a review of the math topics that may appear on the test.

"One out of three test takers use our official study guide, but test takers in a recent survey indicated that they wanted more practice questions," says Dawn Piacentino, Director of Communication and Services for the GRE Program at ETS. "In response to that feedback, we are introducing these new verbal and quantitative preparation books."

These new guides, co-published with McGraw-Hill Education, are available in print and eBook formats through the ETS store and through bookstores worldwide.

The expansion of GRE test preparation materials is designed according to ETS officials to help test takers feel more confident on test day. Similarly, the ScoreSelect^® option, available only with the GRE tests, was introduced so that students could show their best. With the ScoreSelect option, GRE test takers can decide on test day – or anytime up to 5 years after test day – which of their sets of scores to send to graduate or business schools worldwide. "It's about success and achieving their dreams", says Piacentino.

These new GRE test preparation materials join a growing assortment of print, video and online formats including the free POWERPREP ^®II software which includes two full-length practice tests. Other official test preparation tools include the GRE^® Success Starter video series, "The Official Guide to the GRE^® revised General Test, Second Edition", a mobile app, and ScoreItNow! ^TM Online Writing Practice.
