BEST STUDY MATERIALS FOR THE NEW GRE (2024 UPDATE)

hey guys my name is CA Mon and I'm currently a statistics PhD student at Cornell University but before I was admitted to Cornell I took the GRE and did pretty well on it and I've made a couple videos about the exam including this one on exactly every single study material that I used and also this one that details every key difference between the new GRE and the older one I've put these in the description box down below if you want to get up to but today I am really excited to tell you guys about the best study materials for the new shorter gr and if you still have any questions after watching this video leave a comment down below and I promise that I will respond to you so without further Ado let's get right into it so let's talk about Con Academy well on the official etsg website given here I'll put the link in the description below they give a list of free Con Academy instructional videos to prep for the Quant ative section so as you can see here I'm going through and a common question that I get in the comments from you guys is I'm struggling with the specific Topic in math and I really don't know how to get prep material for it well if I were you I would start right here this website has links to everything from solving linear equations to three-dimensional figures and even my favorite statistics and probability if you feel like you never really learned a specific topic that's covered in the the quantitative section of the GRE I would probably start here with Con Academy so I've been in the GRE prep space for a couple years now and if you guys watch this video that I made which unexpectedly really popped off and is basically the Cornerstone of this channel you know how much I love mou I've been saying it for two years now studying mou gr prep is one of the best things that you can do to get that score that you want and get into that grad school that you've been Jing of and that's why I was absolutely enthralled when mou reached out and wanted to team up and sponsor this video so this is the Channel's first ever sponsorship all of the money that gets made or whatever proceeds just get donated and I'm really really happy about this but first I want to tell you guys about this uh the mou complete guide to the GRE it's only 84 pages and it's very digestible in my opinion the pros to this specific book are that the questions are very realistic and the material is pretty Digest tble but the issue is that you'll probably want to pair it with something else and what better material to pair it with than the new and improved mou's very own specialized online GRE prep so check it out so this is what the mou online gr prep dashboard actually looks like and as you can see they have it neatly laid out here with a quick practice section if you want to practice math verbal or writing and also in the top left they'll actually set your study schedule for you so so all you have to do if you have this platform is you just have to confirm your test date let them know how familiar you are already with the gr and a couple other pieces of information and they're actually going to specifically tailor a GRE prep plan for you specifically so you don't have to worry about oh am I going to get this resource am I going to do this on this day they're actually going to lay it out for you specifically let's see what happens when we practice math so I'll click here and it loads up a question what is the value of x so I can't do this in my head real quick so I'll just you know I'll pick four or something and let's see what happens when I say submit answer so mou actually gives us a video explanation and a text explanation not only just saying this was wrong or this was right but exactly why the right answer is the right answer which is definitely really really helpful for the math section and you'll notice that the bottom left pie chart actually updates every single time you answer a question so mou is going to track your question answering and let you know exactly how long you're spending and what your accuracy is wow so they actually give a video explanation for the verbal section as well so they give a video explanation of why it's right and a text explanation and this is really great I mean also this is going to get logged in the pie chart below as well so this is really going to help especially if you have issues in the verbal section because they're going to tell you exactly why the wrong answers were wrong and the right answer is Right mou is fully updated for the new shorter GRE and it's the only us test prep company that includes actual official GRE materials and questions which I think is huge I think that you guys know how important it is to practice with official questions to make sure that what you see on test date is exactly like what you've been studying and I mean it's a fourth of the price of its competitors but I'll tell you what if any of this sounds good to you you can use this code so I mean I feel like I mean this is crazy that I have a code for this channel but it's Saia 20 so if you use this code then you'll get 20% off your mou gr so you can check it out Link in the description below thanks so much you guys and thanks so much for watching can you really have a GRE prep video without talking about official etss GRE practice I mean one thing that I've always kind of felt is pretty weird is how the etss makes the GRE and also the prep material for the GRE kind of like how College Board makes the AP exams and the SATs but also they make the prep material for the AP exams and SATs but on the official ETS website they say that official GRE prep is the best GRE prep and they certainly make the material that will be very very close to what you'll see on exam day in fact they offer some awesome practice material for the new shorter GRE specifically including the power prep preview tool the power prep online and power prep online plus the power prep preview tool is free and it contains information to help you familiarize you with the question types test features and help tools that are available during the actual test the power prep online is free as well and it contains two practice tests that simulate the actual test with its test taker friendly design features you'll encounter on tested and finally the power prep online plus is three official practice test sold separately at$ 39.95 uh each containing a different set of unpublished real test questions with scores and explanations and I think that taking official ETS practice tests as the last thing that you do before exam day is part of a perfect routine for studying for the GRE if you want to learn more about the routine that I personally used then I actually lay out my exact day-by-day study routine here and this video some official ETS prep Mater materials that I do recommend are the official GRE verbal reasoning practice questions volume 1 and the official GRE quantitative reasoning practice questions volume 1 the official GRE verbal reasoning book provides 150 real verbal reasoning questions with complete explanations and tips it also includes practice for the GRE analytical writing measure however you want to be a little bit careful because the the content in this book applies to the old GRE but I mean really because the shorter GRE includes the same question types I mean except for the analyze and argument essay uh which that one was removed but this this book still is a really great way to prepare for the shorter GRE and the official GRE quantitative reasoning book so the quantitative one provides 150 real quantitative reasoning questions with complete explanations and hints and tips and again even though this book was written for the old GRE uh because the question types are still the same it's a great way to prepare for the new shorter GRE the big fish of GRE prep books is the absolute classic Manhattan prep 5B book of GRE practice problems it has literally over 1,800 GRE practice problems and is 1,200 pages long I would recommend using this book as kind of a problem Bank to pull random problems from for the verbal section this prep book has the three types of questions uh the test text completion sentence equivalence and reading comprehension all in three separate chapters so that you can get a lot of practice grinding out each of them and in my opinion the vocab in this prep book is pretty intense but it's one of the best resources for prepping for the GRE uh so definitely keep it in mind this book is a famous one on the Reddit GRE threads especially for the verbal section uh because of how Timeless and comprehensive it is well there you go guys I hope this video has been helpful for the new study materials or the best study materials for the new shorter gr if you have any questions or comments I mean I'd love to hear them if you just drop them in the comments below I promise that I will
