A perfectly adequate preparation. Full of helpful tips. Nothing came as a suprise. You don't need anything else.

Probably the worst GRE prep book ever. Get the Princeton review one, and a tutor. This book did not supply adequate or useful information for taking the GRE. In fact, it almost made it seem like the GRE was going to be a piece of cake. Which it isn't. It's not the hardest test ever, but it certainly is not the CBEST. There were not good examples or good strategy advice.
I usually really appreciate this series, so this was definitely a let down.

A Helpful GRE Supplement May 18, 2008

This book is geared for the computer test, and states that throughout the text. I'm currently using it to prepare for taking the GRE later this summer. I would not recommend it as your singular source of preparing for the GRE, but it has lots of helpful tips, hints, and strategies, that I feel it is worth the investmant. The author has spent several decades helping students prepare for standardized tests, so has a lot of experience, and insights into what she has seen work, and what doesn't. No book is going to singularly prepare you for the GRE, I would recommend at least three texts, to cover the three main aspects of the GRE, which are quantative, verbal, and analytical writing skills. This book could easily be completed in 2 or 3 weeks, if you spent an hour or two everyday going through the different sections. Plus, she has a great sense of humor, yet tells it like it is.
Good on Math, Bad on Verbal April 18, 2008
Brandon Simpson (Northern Kentucky)
I think this book does a good job of making you "relearn" math that you may have forgotten. I took several practice tests and got many of the math questions wrong. In high school, I had very good math skills. This book helped me brush up on mathematical concepts that I had forgotten. After reading the math reviews, I was able to get 75% of the math problems right.
I still had trouble with the verbal section, though. I'm not sure why. I was a Spanish major in college, and my professors assumed that I would do well on the verbal section. But I didn't. The math part was much easier for me. I think it's because I use "logic" to understand languages, and logic what math pros use.
