it did the job
I went back to school after 22 years and needed to update my skills. This book pointed me in right direction.

Helpful, but with other Guide Books
I, like many others, needed a crash course on the math section of the GREs. I've taken the GRE before but my Math Score was still lacking and based on the 5-year rule, my scores expired. I decided to buy help books this time around. After reading other reviews, I decided to purchase this book with the Princeton Review, and on my own purchased the Kaplan GRE Math Workbook and Bob Miller's No-Nonsense Guide to the Math Section.

The Barron's book is really great. It has alot of extra math problems and helps explain things by section. Paired with the Princeton Review--I feel I understood the questions and the reasoning behind the answers a bit better. The Bob Miller's Math Workbook is also really really helpful. The problems are similar types of problems on the GRE and it provides a little bit more practice--and that is what you need when it comes to these math problems. PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.

The verbal section is a little excessive in the Barron's, but just right in the Princeton Review. Princeton Review lists the 100 most frequently used words on the GRE and it is really helpful. The Barron's book gives you 1000+ words, a mini-dictionary, and it becomes overwhelming. But still helpful. The Barron's provides 5 practice tests, which is really great, compared to the 2 that Princeton Review provides. The Kaplan GRE book is okay, not that great. And Bob Miller's book provides 6 BIG math practice sections. So if I were you, and you want to increase your math score...pick up the Barron's Guide, the Princeton Review, and the Bob Miller's review book for extra practice.

Barron's GRE Guide Review
Wonderful book when you are starting to learn GRE. If you read through the book thoroughly you can easily go above 600+ in GRE verbal
