Hi Aman,

Assuming that you mean the Verbal Reasoning section of the GRE, you need to first master vocabulary in order to score higher.

If your vocabulary is comparatively weak or average, then you should start off with Word Power Made Easy by Norman. This will establish a sound foundation before you move on to more difficult words listed in the official GRE word lists (Barron's 333, Manhattan 1100 etc). The word lists are important, but it is more important to practice GRE questions on your own and learning words as you come across them by understanding their usage in sentences.

The only way to improve Verbal Reasoning scores is through practice. The best book for practice problems is the Manhattan Prep 5 lb book of GRE Practice Problems.

You nees to practice alpt for reading section in exams.



You need to have strong vocabulary for that.



We recommend using Norman Lewis books for Word Power Made Easy.



You can also go for practice High School English grammar a composition by RS Agarwal for better grammar and understanding of sentences and pronunciation.

Also go for Verbal ability and Readings Comprehensive book by Arun Sharma which is best and recommended.

It's can be very tricky to improve your reading score. I have seen multiple students struggle with it. You might want to try approaching a coaching institute which gives a personal mentor to work with. I have been studying at Inspirus Education and have been consistently improving my reading and verbal score. It has been very helpful mostly because of the personal guidance and high amount of effort that they put in understanding my weaknesses and developing a customised study plan for me. In my last effort I got an 18.
