Analogy literally means a comparison of one thing with another thing that has similar features. Therefore GRE analogies are essentially comparisons between similar entities. The GRE analogies are a part of the verbal reasoning section of the test. These questions are multiple choice questions and are essential to make the test complete.

In the questions based on GRE analogies, the student is given pairs of words which share some relation or the other. Along with a question pair of words, there are pairs of words as options. The student is required to identify the relationship of the words given in the question pair. Keeping this relation in mind, the student should find out the pair of words from the given options that bears the same or similar relation between them. However, the given options might be confusing. It is likely that the student finds more than one option as the probable answer on reading them for the first time. Nonetheless, after a logical careful reading the difference in the relation between the words in the different options becomes clear. Hence, it is advised that the student should give it a thought and attempt the GRE analogies only after careful thinking and reasoning.

The GRE analogies are essential to test the reasoning and verbal abilities of a student. One has to have a good vocabulary to attempt these questions well. In order to master the GRE analogies, the students should practice as many sample GRE analogy questions as possible. It is only with practice that you will get used to the questions and their format. Practice will not only make you familiar with the GRE analogies, it will also make you confident.

SAMPLE GRE ANALOGIES
In order to practice the GRE analogies, it is best to get hold of some sample questions and practice them. Along with this, you should make an effort towards increasing your vocabulary by adding new words to it, their meanings and their opposites. This can be done best by making a habit of reading on a daily basis and learning the difficult words.

Going through the sample GRE analogies gives you an idea of how the real test is going to be. Following is an example of a GRE analogy.
1.Red : Rainbow
a)Colour : Rose
b)Saturday : Week
c)Drop : Ocean
d)Ball : Team
e)Patient : Ward

Here the answer is option (b). The pair of words in the given question is �Red : Rainbow�. It can be understood that �rainbow� is made of colours and �red� is one of these colours. The option (b) also represents a parallel relation since a �Week� is made up of seven days and �Saturday� is one of the days of a week. Option (a) is incorrect since we cannot say that a rose is made up of �colour� in the same way as the question pair. This is because it is not mentioned which colour the rose is made up of. Similarly, �drop� and �ocean� are also not related in a similar manner, because different drops that make up the ocean cannot be identified as �red� can from different colours of a rainbow. Options (d) and (e) are obviously wrong as the relation shared by these pairs is far from the one given in the question.
