Some of these GRE analogies are so fucking stupid.

Here's one:

12. MORBID : UNFAVORABLE

A. reputable:favorable
B. maternal:unfavorable
C. disputatious:favorable
D. vigilant:unfavorable
E. lax:favorable

My thought process was "morbid has nothing to do with unfavorable really; so I'll pick the one that has nothing to do with the other" which ended up being C. Somehow the answer is A, because apparently to these people morbidity is an objectively unfavorable trait. What?

But I guess a test is only as good as its makers. But the fact that my life depends on them is extremely disheartening.
 
Positive/negative is an approach I hadn't really thought of, thanks. Will add that one to the arsenal.
 
I got the Barron's book to GRE, it's pretty nice. Aiming for a perfect score lol :/
 
None of the others really have anything more to do with favourability than morbid though.

But yeah, what if you hate your mother? What if you want to break the law? A lax police force would be favourable and a vigilant one wouldnt be..

Disputatious I have never heard of before, but I assume it is another word for CK?

Also for us foreigners what is GRE?

Have a nice day.
 
Basically, the GRE is one of those standardized tests that helps you get into graduate school.

At least that's how I understand it. Fortunately I was able to avoid taking it for my school's graduate program by maintaining a 3.25 GPA in my last 60 credit-hours so I don't really know how it all works.

Quite frankly I don't think I would've been able to stand the hours of testing and studying on top of everything else...
