 This is the only useful GRE study book. May 28, 1999
14 out of 14 found this review helpful
If you are going to take the GRE, buy this book and no other. The author fills you in on all the tricks you need to know to score well on the GRE (and there are many), and does not waste your time with lists of 30,000 vocabulary words. Spend your time learning the structure of the test and how to avoid the traps, then learn the basic information. Her chapters on algebra and geometry are much more useful than Barron's or any other books I looked at, and her strategy for vocabulary makes much better use of your time than memorizing vocabulary. The only way the book falls short is in preparation for the unique features of the computer-based test. All the books I looked at fell short this way, even the ones that claimed to have sections on the computer-based test.
A Great Book-- even if you're not taking the GRE January 21, 1999

Though I've yet to complete the book, I think I've read enough to be able to say that the book seems great! Note that this is high praise indeed as I'm usually a tough critic and a book (business, person, etc.) who calls me a "dummy" on our first introduction usually regrets it. Still its "Two Years of Math in 58 pages" was worth the price of the book alone!Good luck!
Upped my score...and quick, too! June 5, 1998

I flipped through several "traditional" GRE self-study books, but with little time to prepare (i.e. two weeks) and no desire to memorize lists of obscure vocabulary words, I bought this book. After a week of learning strategies and understanding how the test works, my practice test scores soared! And I wound up scoring well over 600 on the math and analytical portions of the test. Thanks to the author for the first EFFECTIVE book for taking a standardized test!
Looked good in the store - even better in practice! January 23, 1997

Graduated from college in'91I'm just now starting revision to take the GRE sometime in '97 and felt as if I needed a lot of prep since I've been out of school so long. The REVIEW sections of this book are written in easy to understand langauge, with clear explainations of what the test takers are looking for and perils and pitfalls to watch out for ... Or should that be for which to watch out?? I'd say this book is for anyone who feels they have to relearn this material and not just review it.If that's you - then I heartily reccommend this book
