Princeton/Kaplan combination

Requiring additional prep in mathematics, I followed the advice of previous users of The Princeton Review's, 'Cracking the GRE, 2010' in combination with Kaplan's 'GRE Exam Math Workbook, Seventh Edition'. 'Cracking the GRE, 2010' was a great comprehensive prep, covering not only the effective techniques to utilize when taking the exam but a great (re)primer for the quantitative section. After completing the 'GRE Exam Math Workbook', I used the The Princeton Review website to access and take their version of the Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) used by ETS (the GRE author and administrator) - which is included as a part of the 'Cracking the GRE' work tools. It was great to get a feel for the exam and it was perfect for applying what I learned in writing the two essays that are now a part of the GRE. My advice, immerse yourself by blocking off a good three hours at a time for reading and testing on each chapter. Give yourself NO LESS then four weeks of good solid study prior to test.

As for results, I had previously taken a sample paper exam for the GRE,to confirm my suspicion that I needed significant study to prep for exam. After being out of university for over ten years (and already weak in mathematics) my scores were sobering. Now, the paper exam is not directly comparable to the Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) exam that ETS utilizes but I think my improvement was significant enough to mention after using the Princton/Kaplan combo.

My quantitative points improved a solid 100%! That in itself was worth every penny invested in these two prep books. I scored average in the verbal section but I still experienced a 48% increase in points pushing me above the 90th percentile.

Good Verbal, Bad Math

The verbal revew really boosted my score. However, the math review was soooooooooooo boring, not that this book is meant to entertain, but I felt like hitting my head against a brick wall before any of the concepts in this book's math rewiew would sink in as easy as other books, like the nova math bible or any of the other popular books. Also, the math practise test have really strange questions that I did not see in the official GRE practice tests. Good luck with the GRE, hope this helps.

GRE vocab box, great tool for refreshing you vocab



It's a very covenient tool to use, the first time I took it to work and during my lunch break I was able to go through some of the cards.
They have the word on one side, the definition of it on the other with an example of how it is used in a sentence.
So you can review many words any time any day wihtout too much pressure even before you start the more intense studying for the test.

Great Exam Review Book

This book is great for those who struggle with the GRE math section. or math in general. I'm using this Kaplan book and also the Peterson's book (which is just as good, they're all good, if not just for making me study and practice). Definitely a worthwhile purchase, especially at the Amazon.com price!

Excellent read!

I really enjoyed this book! It's the first book by Jane Green I've ever read. I'll definitly be reading her others. This book sort of, kind of reminds me of Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. Although in my opinion, no one can even light a candle to Kristin Hannah. (She's my all time fave author) But this book is definitly a solid 4 stars!

Great GRE vocab book, though it omits pronunciations of most words

I learned quite a few really good words with this book (e.g. labile). The words in this book aren't so easy or basic that you're not going to learn anything new, but they're also not so esoteric and random that you'll never see them again. I'm very pleased with this book's content.

That said, I find it really annoying that most words are given without their pronunciations. Perhaps because the GRE doesn't require you to speak the words Barron's doesn't think the pronunciations matter?

Eh...

The biggest problem is that there are no sample essays given for any of the analytical writing practice questions - it just says "there are no 'correct' answers for this section", which is a complete cop-out. They couldn't hire someone to write good, mediocre, and bad essays? Also, it's not helpful to have a separate sheet with answer bubbles, because the actual test will have answer bubbles under each question. I like Princeton Review's book much better.
