I just purchased the "GRE BIG BOOK: PRACTICING TO TAKE THE GENERAL GRE " book as practice. Ive noticed that these exam questions are very old and was wondering if i should even practice with them? do these questions still mimic the gre questions today? Any advice would be great! thanks

Yes . Definitely, it is useful

A lot of questions are in a format which was faded out in 2011 and no longer appear in the actual exam.

However, it has 23 complete test with 6 sections each.

Quantitative comparison question, problem-solving, and RC (which are outstanding) are still valid for the actual test. Moreover, I would say even more difficult

All the official guides https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/the-offic ... -8020.html

Here we do have the directory, which is not completed yet

Hi divyo506,

While that book is still relevant, you may find that you need additional resources for your prep. For how long have you been studying? When is your actual GRE?

Yes sir. I am sorry but for the moment the directory is on hold. However you have two options

1) you can have the PDF and search the questions (NOT the two blank format which is no longer tested on the new GRE and we did not post) typing just some word in the lens on to of every page.

2) use our tag big book for searching the questions you are looking for using the tag search at this link https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/search.ph ... earch_tags

For example: problem solving | word problem | OG: big book

Another example : quantitative comparison| hard | geometry | big book https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/search.ph ... mit=Search

If you want to pinpoint a specific question use point 1) above

Ask for further assistance

Yes sir. It is on hold. BUT the good news are two

Suppose you need to have QCQ go here in the sub forum https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/quantitat ... stions-20/

on top you do have the filter. Suppose hard algebra and then the last box (sources) is Big book

Done the result is the following https://gre.myprepclub.com/forum/quantitat ... s%5B%5D=29

You can refine your search as you please using the tags

The second good news is that I and another user are preparing a spreadsheet with ALL the questions from the Bb categorized, both quant and verbal

I am sorry more than this I am not able to help you at the moment

feel free to ask if you do need further assistance

regards
