 Excellent GRE Verbal Source August 31, 2009
S. Warshafsky
I had already taken the GRE and studied using Kaplan's general GRE prep book when I decided to retake them to boost my verbal score. Although I can't say how effective the book is (I'm taking the test in a month), I will say that the verbal practice sections and tips are different from Kaplan and there is different vocabulary than is offered in the Kaplan book. Anyone looking to go into an English graduate program that needs a highly competitive score - this book is for you!

I personally didn't like their explanations. Some things they say in their answers don't make sense.I would go for Kaplan's review if I had to pick one.
Questions are good if you are not willing to read their answers, but there is no point in buying the verbal workout if you just want questions.
Just buy practice exams from ebay

I started GMAT Club - online MBA community; my GMAT score is 750 (49, 42), and here are my thoughts about this book:
There are very few resources to help with GMAT Reading Comprehension and this is one of them. Actually until the Manhattan GMAT RC book came out, this was considered the best RC book (considered by many gmatclub members better than Kaplan or PR Verbal GMAT Workbooks).
What's Valuable for a GMAT test-taker in this book:
* Reading Comprehension Section with 15 pages of strategies covering tone, general idea questions, roman numeral questions, etc
* 10 Passages with 50 questions (from 3 to 7 questions per passage) with detailed explanations
* Section on AWA as GRE has very similar essay topics (Analysis of an Issue and Argument). It actually covers AWA in a lot more detail than you need to worry about (AWA is easy to tackle) but has a good overview of assumptions and how to tackle the analysis of an argument essay.
Recommendation: Get Manhattan GMAT Reading Comprehension. If you have exhausted practice and GMAT strategy guides for RC, then get this one

I had been working full time and did not have enough time to "enhance" my vocabulary. I used only this book for total of 18 hours over a period of one week and got 700 in verbal in GRE General. I would recommend not wasting money on any additional preparation materials: Just use this book and the material on the CD ROM from ETS (do all the math questions on the CD because math is tricky), which you get automatically by registering for the exam. If I knew verbal was going to be this easy, I would have spent more time on math (got only 790).
