Customer Reviews

An average test prep book
This book gives a good holistic view of the GRE but I think it contains insufficient amount of vocabulary. It does teach you some good techniques to max out the verbal section but what I don't like is that the word list is far too short(only 100 words with ultra brief definitions, no examples) and the meanings of other words listed are not given. However I do like the root list which lets you to guess what a unfamiliar word might mean but again, definitions are not given. Should you look for a book which has a more comprehensive word list, the GRE book from Barron's might be useful to you, at least it gives you 3500 words with definitions and examples on how to use those words.

GRE Exam Verbal Workbook
An okay book to use for to prepare for the GRE. The vocabulary builder section is particularly useful; however, I did not feel that there were an adequate amount of questions for the price of the book. There were helpful tips and strategies, but nothing new if you already bought Kaplan's GRE 1999-2000 workbook.

This book improved my GRE score markedly
I took the GRE a few weeks ago, and I had 2 1/2 weeks to prepare for it, having never seen or heard of the GRE before that time. I panicked and ordered four books. Kaplan's verbal workbook was a great purchase and it improved my verbal score - I got a 610 and I am not even born and raised in the USA.

I used Kaplan in conjunction with Barron's Passkey to the GRE Test and The Ultimate Verbal and Vocabulary Builder. Together, the three of them and 6 stacks of flashcards were the reason I did well on the test. The best part of the Kaplan book is the exercises and strategies given to help you through the challenging verbal section. I learned to make an educated guess even if I didn't know what any of the words meant and I got quite a few of them right. It is not so much about roots, prefixes and suffixes, but more about using the word in context with the other words and ruling out possibilities that are impossible. I strongly recommend making this book part of your GRE study regimen. I did one of each group of exercies per day. For reference, I studied on average 12 hours a day for two straight weeks. This book is worth your money and MUCH better than anything published by ETS which proved useless to me.
