Customer Reviews

Tons of mistakes bordering ridculosity.
The intentions behind this book are very good. Sections are well laid out, and there are explanations for every answer.

BUT (and that's a big but)

There are ERRORS ABOUND! The math section is especially egregious.
1. The answers are marked with one choice, then in the explanation a completely different choice is stated correct.
2. The answer doesn't correlate to the correct question (ie the explanation explains a completely different question)
3. The answer is completely wrong.
4. The question is lacking a salient piece of information necessary to solve.
5. the typesetting is off and therefore angles are mislabeled.
6. etc and so on.

One would think that the princeton review could afford a better editor. Seriously, I'm only making one pass of this book and I've found better than 50 errors in this book. Math is my specialty, so who knows how many errors there are in the verbal section? If you're not good at math, how will you even know if you've made mistakes or not?

Good Resource.....
BTW, I did find a correction list for this book at [...] Liked the fact that this book was grouped by subject matter--made it easier to focus on what I needed. Also appreciated the assessment tests at the beginning--pointed out some weak spots I didn't know I had!! The explanations were detailed and fairly easy to follow. Plus found that this book gave me enough practice--I'm a little bit of a freak about being prepared (smile). Overall, with the correction list, thought this was a good resource...

Good, but there are numerous mistakes
This book provides an adequate review of GRE materials. There are more than enough questions to give you practice and it provides questions on every topic ranging from the very easy to the very difficult.

There are two primary drawbacks to using this book. (1) As the other review notes, there are a lot of errors in this book, and Princeton Review doesn't provide corrections (that I know of... I've looked). How many errors are there, you ask? There were a lot in the beginning of the math section, but then they decreased (I think... you never know really), towards the end. There are enough to irritate you.(2) The other problem is that there is only 1 "full-length" (which is not full length) practice test. You would probably want to use this book simultaneously with real GRE practice tests if you can to simulate the real thing.

In sum, this book has been helpful despite the errors, and I don't know of any other book similar to this where there are just LOTS of practice questions.
