The text are: Cracking the Revised GRE by Princeton, Kaplan New GRE, Verbal workout, Official Guide http://www.amazon.com/Best-New-GRE-Books-2011/lm/R10O39CX71Y1B5).
Along with this, I will be working on GRE Big book: RCs and Sentence Completion which remains the same. And also vocab learning techniques which will be the same.
