GRE No More Antonyms and Analogies

[Ruben]

Sir,

Why are they removing anotonyms and analogies questions from GRE from the coming year? Is it good for us?

I think it is fair enough as most of the analogy words are culturally specific especially more of American flavor. There are some from Christianity like for example
"EXEGIS'" meaning explanation of Biblical passages and likewise you have many more words not easily understandable by Indian students. Just check up for the following words like "HOLSTER" . You should have known about guns to know the meaning of this word. What is "PITON"? you need to be familiar with rock climbing to know this word. I am not sure how many of us in India are aware of "FLAMBEAU" ( a long candlestick , or "DIRIGIBLE" a large baloon or a "HARLEQUIN' a comic character in patomimes.)

I am sure the Reading  Comprehension questions will be more challenging instead. Good luck!
