These are the Hardest Sentence Equivalence questions on GRE Prep Club. We pulled in these quite challenging, among over 800 official and NON-official, questions.


We did adhere to the following scheme:

1) the HARD questions are quite tricky;
2) the HARD questions, basically, are uncharted territories: you should be very careful in evaluating them and squeezing all your knowledge, tricks, and vocabs you know to reach the solution.


Relevant resources we do have for scoring well on the Verbal Reasoning
