Choosing the best books for GRE prep is not a tough task. You need to keep few things in mind:

  1. Choose only official ETS materials for accurate question types. 
  2. Look for books that explain GRE concepts clearly and offer plenty of practice questions with detailed explanations.
  3. If the books cover all sections: Verbal, Quant, and AWA then its good or you can buy section-wise books of reputed publishers.
  4. Read reviews to see what other students found helpful for their learning style.

Yes, students can use old GRE books for their preparation. The concepts of math and verbal section concepts, and question types, haven't changed much in the year 2025. However, be aware that the GRE duration is now 1 hour and 58 minutes. Old books won't reflect the new, shorter test format or the removal of one essay in Analytical Writing Assesement section.

To build GRE vocabulary effectively, use various methods such as  flashcards, keep a vocabulary journal with definitions and example sentences. Use vocabulary apps and games for interactive learning. Also, focus on understanding both primary and secondary meanings of GRE words for comprehensive learning.

GRE General Test checks skills which are important to start your studies in graduation school. It assess your skills related to reading and vocabulary (Verbal Reasoning), your basic math and problem-solving (Quantitative Reasoning), and your essay writing. These aren't tied to one specific subject; they're useful for many different graduate programs.

GRE questions are not repeated in the actual test. Test is adaptive, meaning questions you receive are based on your performance. You will not find the exact same questions from practice materials or previous test-takers, even if you take multiple practice test.
