 Excellent source October 14, 2007
C. Martinez
I selected this book based on other reviews by other buyers. The book is comprehensive and complete. I feel confident using this book along with the vocab flip chart (sold separately). Allow at least 6 weeks of study time and break down sections according to the length of study time. This book is well written and easy to follow. Good luck with your GRE!

I bought this book more for the CD than anything else. I never read the book or used their methods, I only used the diagnostic and computer adaptive tests on the CD. In that respect, they were very good. Barron's did a wonderful job recreating the computer-adaptive test environment, and there were no surprises when I went to take the GRE.
 OK for the basics September 25, 2007

This book is good for people who need a general review, but aren't necessarily aiming for the topmost scores. This was one of several GRE prep books/CDs I ordered. The writing style is very basic and down-to-earth; it assumes you know next to nothing about math or taking tests. A couple other books (esp. the Princeton Review) had more sophisticated techniques that I found helpful.
I found the software a bit ugly. The graphs on the quantitative practice problems were much more difficult to read than the actual GRE was, and the interface was a little clunky. Still, it's good for additional content review.
Really good thorough test prep September 15, 2007

This book is really really thorough and works well if you plan on studying well ahead of time. There are sections for each type of math problem that appears on the actual test and this was what I found most helpful. I went through each of the specific sections because math was a weakness for me and I wound up getting a 660 in the quantitative section. There is an extensive list of vocabulary words and several sections of review for the verbal section of the exam. Studying the high frequency words was helpful. The tips and hints that are included are great for helping you learn how to take the test and to save time. The amount of time for the test is fairly limited and the book shows you how to do the least amount of work to come to the correct answer. I studied using this book and I received a 1320.
Thoruoughly satisfied September 11, 2007
