GRE UPDATE : August 2007

..........................................................................................................................................................................

Hi people,

Questions appearing in the GRE are usually from one common question pool for every two/three months or so. Here are some of the questions that appeared in the GRE during the month of AUGUST 2007. The questions have been amassed, after enquiring 60 and odd students who have written the GRE in this month, through Orkut , Yahoo Groups and other social networks on the internet. I thank all my friends and the people who have contributed to this database. I have been able to collect only Antonym and Analogy questions so far. I am still in the process of collecting words that were encountered in the Sentence Completion questions. I have tried to provide answers to most of them, except a very few for which the choices are not known. Hope this will help you score better in your attempt.
