Customer Reviews

it helped me
I bought this with Cracking the GRE to prepare for the test. I'd say it helped me (my boyfriend said "wow" when I told him my score). It has plenty of quizzes for good practice, and they do a great job of explaining the testing process to you. The strategies might take a while at first, but over time it gets easier to process faster. What I didn't like, though, was that beyond the quizzes, nearly everything is identical to the verbal and writing sections of Cracking the GRE. The vocab hit lists are exactly the same- I would have liked some new words.

The math on the GRE is pretty simple, so if you want test prep, I'd suggest getting this book only, and get free math prep from the ETS website.

Excellent GRE Verbal Source
I had already taken the GRE and studied using Kaplan's general GRE prep book when I decided to retake them to boost my verbal score. Although I can't say how effective the book is (I'm taking the test in a month), I will say that the verbal practice sections and tips are different from Kaplan and there is different vocabulary than is offered in the Kaplan book. Anyone looking to go into an English graduate program that needs a highly competitive score - this book is for you!

Not too good
I personally didn't like their explanations. Some things they say in their answers don't make sense.I would go for Kaplan's review if I had to pick one.
Questions are good if you are not willing to read their answers, but there is no point in buying the verbal workout if you just want questions.
