We have some exciting news to share in GRE Land\u2014a new edition of our bestselling 5 lb. Book of GRE Practice Problems<\/a> enters the world today! If you aren\u2019t familiar with the 5 lb. Book, let me tell you\u2014it\u2019s my favorite of all the Manhattan Prep GRE products. I destroyed it when I was studying for the test. Struggling with exponents, I tore out the exponents chapter and did them on the train. Worried about rates and work problems, I cut them out of its pages and carried a stack around with me to do and redo in my downtime. I ransacked the chapters of any topic that I found difficult or daunting. (Can you say <\/span>combinatorics<\/span><\/i>? No, I mean literally, can you say it? Because I couldn\u2019t until I started working here at Manhattan Prep.) I love that the chapters are organized by topic, so <\/span>you<\/span><\/i> decide where you need practice and take a targeted deep dive. With over 2,000 GRE practice problems, you\u2019re going to find the practice you need.<\/span><\/p>\n With this new edition, my favorite GRE book gets even better. Here\u2019s what we\u2019ve added… <\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019ve added eight mini mixed sets\u2014four Quant and four Verbal\u2014for you to use for timed practice. There are 10 practice problems in each set (half of a full GRE section) for you to do within 15 minutes (Verbal) and 17.5 minutes (Quant)\u2014half the time of a full GRE section.<\/span><\/p>\n This is an exciting addition, because a critical piece of GRE study is doing mixed timed practice. It doesn\u2019t need to be a whole practice test or even a whole Quant or Verbal <\/span>section <\/span><\/i>for it to be valuable\u2014just practicing with mixed content, under timed conditions, for 15 minutes (or 17.5 for Quant), and then reviewing your work, is a fantastic use of study time. You are able to rehearse things like:<\/span><\/p>\n And you\u2019re able to, on review, ask yourself important questions about your test-taking chops, like:<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m so, so thrilled about this addition, because we often hear this from our students: <\/span>Where can I find all of the math rules in one place?<\/span><\/i> Until now, we haven\u2019t had a great solution. But in the 3rd edition of the 5 lb. Book of GRE Practice Problems, you\u2019ll find four sets of Math Facts for the GRE, organized by topic area: algebra, arithmetic, geometry, and statistics. These are great for quick and easy reference when you forget a formula or rule. And these are definitely the kind of resource that, during my GRE study days, I would have torn out of the book and carried around with me in my bag. <\/span><\/p>\n The third and final new section of the new edition are our math drills\u2014100 of them, organized by topic (absolute value, algebra, averages, circles…to name the first few). This way, you can drill to drive home particular concepts and save the GRE-like problems for when you feel like you\u2019ve got the idea and are ready to practice in the \u201creal\u201d test format. This isn\u2019t to say you should do drills first and save the book\u2019s GRE practice problems for after. I suggest you move between the drills and practice problems as needed. If you\u2019re struggling on the GRE practice problems, revisit the topic in the <\/span>Math<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Verbal<\/span><\/a> Strategy Guide, try a few of the 5 lb. Book drills, then return to GRE practice problems.<\/span><\/p>\n And last, as a perk of buying the new edition, you\u2019ll get an enhanced free trial of <\/span>Interact for GRE<\/span><\/a>, our on-demand learning platform with video lessons, drills, and quizzes. After registering for the trial (you\u2019ll find instructions inside your book), you\u2019ll have access to the first 15 lessons of Interact and the corresponding GRE practice problems. <\/span><\/p>\n And that\u2019s all I\u2019ve got\u2014so for those of you who are like <\/span>TL;DR<\/span><\/i>, basically: the 5 lb. Book of GRE Practice Problems<\/a> just got even heavier, albeit with some high-quality weight. All the more reason not to be afraid to tear it up, make it your own, and carry the useful parts around with you.\u00a0?<\/span><\/p>\n We have some exciting news to share in GRE Land\u2014a new edition of our bestselling 5 lb.
