Hi there!

First, we want to take this opportunity to thank you for checking out this book by Magoosh. You'll soon discover that the content of these pages, combined with our online product, packs a gigantic GRE-prep wallop.

You see, what you're holding in your hands is a companion guide for the Magoosh GRE-prep program offered online at . You're not going to find thousands of practice questions in these pages. Instead, you're going to find two hundred of the highest-quality, best-explained, and most robust questions that have helped thousands of students succeed on the actual GRE. On top of the thorough explanations and step-by-step directions, we rank the difficulty level of each question and tell you what percentage of our online students answered the question (or one like it) correctly. These stats are there to help you size up each question before you dive in. You can use them to figure out what actually makes a question easy, medium, or hard. Getting a feel for the difficulty level of the questions on the GRE will help you approach the test with more confidence. "Look at that," you'll say to yourself. "I just sailed through a hard question like it was no big deal!"

With the help of this book and all the useful features in Magoosh online, you'll rock the GRE.

That's because the preparation you do with Magoosh online mimics the real experience of a computer-based test like the GRE. You'll have all the tools you need and know what to expect when you sit down to take the real test. In addition to the thousand-plus practice questions online, we also provide a text explanation and a video explanation for every question. Yes, every single one. And we don't just offer practice questions. To help you cover the basics, we also provide more than two hundred video lessons that cover every topic on the test.

We hope you're getting the sense that we really care about your success, because we do. That's where this book comes in. We started wondering how we could help you study even more efficiently for the GRE and figured that an actual book might come in handy. Sometimes books can go places laptops can't. You can toss this book in your bag and study whenever you find yourself lacking an Internet connection, wanting to review handwritten notes, or feeling like you might learn something better from a physical book. This book extends the Magoosh content to help keep you studying whenever and wherever it's convenient.

Magoosh isn't just about practice questions and tests, though. We also
