New GRE is not dependent on non-context vocab, gives a change to get 99%ile in math, as 800/800 is old is still 92%ile More focus on RC and FIB More than once choices correct questions Along with this, I will be working on GRE Big book: RCs and Sentence Completion which remains the same. And also vocab learning techniques which will be the same.

Still ETS is using the ETS Big Book based collection (see yourself: screen sharing) The questions of RCs have now become easier as chances of long RCs is minimized Time bound gaming has become very more relevant which very less people understand Memory no longer an issue for the exam! All major RC areas and ETS s predilection remains exactly the same Importance of Sitters has increased
