HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
Welcome to Kaplan GRE Prep Plus 2024
Congratulations on your decision to pursue a graduate degree, and thank you
for choosing Kaplan for your GRE preparation. You’ve made the right choice
in acquiring this book—you’re now armed with a comprehensive GRE
program that is the result of decades of researching the GRE and teaching
many thousands of students the skills they need to succeed. You have
everything you need to score higher, so let’s start by walking through what
you need to know to take advantage of this book and your online resources.
Your Book
There are two main components to your Kaplan GRE Prep Plus study
package: your book and your online resources. This book contains the
following:
Detailed instruction covering the essential Verbal Reasoning,
Quantitative Reasoning, and Analytical Writing concepts
Time-tested and effective Kaplan Methods and strategies for every
question type
One full-length practice test and chapter-end practice questions with
detailed answer explanations
Your Online Resources
To be fully prepared for Test Day, you should perform as much of your GRE
practice as possible on a computer. After all, the real GRE is administered on
a computer, so to perform at the highest level you will need to be comfortable
interacting with the test interface and using scratch paper.
Your online learning hub is a vital resource to get you prepared for Test Day.
The quizzes, videos, and practice tests available there are essential to your
GRE success, and the additional video instruction is like having your own

personal tutor help you understand the test inside and out.
Logging into your online study plan is easy. In fact, do it right now. Find a
computer, head to kaptest.com/booksonline, then select GRE and find GRE
Prep Plus 2024. Follow the onscreen instructions to unlock the following
resources:
Five full-length practice tests
560-question Qbank you can use to create customized quizzes
Videos, guided practice, and practice sets to help you master the various
GRE question types
Five Analytical Writing practice sets of two prompts each
Detailed answer explanations and sample essay responses
Getting Started
1. Register your online resources.
2. Take a GRE practice test to identify your strengths and weaknesses.
3. Create a study plan.
4. Learn and practice using this book and your online resources.
Step 1: Register Your Online Resources
Go to kaptest.com/booksonline and follow the onscreen instructions. The
registration process is simple and will only take a minute.
Access to the online resources is limited to the original owner of this book
and is nontransferable. Kaplan is not responsible for providing access to the
online resources to customers who purchase or borrow used copies of this
book. Access to the online resources expires one year after you register.
Step 2: Take a GRE Practice Test
It’s essential to take a practice test early on. Doing so will give you the initial
feedback and diagnostic information that you need to achieve your maximum
score.
Your diagnostic test is Multi-Stage Test (MST) 1, which is found in your

Loading page 15...

online resources. MST 1, like all of Kaplan’s online full-length tests, is a
multi-stage test, which is the same format as the actual GRE. The multi-stage
test format feels different from a paper-based test and is scored differently, so
the more you practice with MSTs, the better off you’ll be. In addition to MST
1, your online resources include more practice tests. We recommend spacing
these throughout your prep calendar, saving at least one for a couple of weeks
before your official test date. And, for your convenience, we’ve also included
a printed practice test in this book. The practice test in this book, which
includes full-length Analytical Writing, Verbal, and Quantitative sections,
will give you a chance to familiarize yourself with the various question types.
It will also allow you to gauge the content you know and identify areas for
practice and review.
After any practice test that you take, it’s important that you fully review the
detailed answer explanations to better understand your performance. Look for
patterns in the questions you answered correctly and incorrectly. Were you
stronger in some areas than others? This thorough analysis will help you
target your practice time to specific concepts.
Step 3: Create a Study Plan
Use what you’ve learned from your practice test to identify areas for closer
study. Take time to familiarize yourself with the key components of your
book and online resources. Think about how many hours you can consistently
devote to GRE study. We have found that most students have success with
about three months of committed preparation before Test Day.
Schedule time for study, practice, and review. One of the most frequent
mistakes in approaching study is to take practice tests and not review them
thoroughly—review time is your best chance to gain points. It works best for
many people to block out short, frequent periods of study time throughout the
week. Check in with yourself frequently to make sure you’re not falling
behind your plan or forgetting about any of your resources.
Step 4: Learn and Practice
Your book and online resources come with many opportunities to develop the
