Now that the GRE is no longer offered in a traditional pencil-and-paper format, college students are faced with a new set of problems inherent in a computer-based exam. A student's responses dictate the nature of subsequent questions: a correct answer prompts a more difficult question; an incorrect answer, an easier one. In addition, students can no longer save time by skipping questions, which they can return to later. With Peterson's GRE CAT Success, prospective grad students acquire the test-taking skills and confidence to confront these new difficulties and achieve high scores. This essential resource offers complete test preparation and practice so that students can excel in all areas of the test -- verbal, mathematical, and analytical.

Provides a diagnostic pretest, offers test-taking tips and strategies for improving scores, and includes practice tests with explanatory answers.
