| Good book but not much help for the GRE.This is a book similar to a dictionary its good to learn potential words for the GRE but since there is a vast number of words its practically useless since the GRE is a conflicted test that measures your ability to reason through and since this book gives no strategies for reasoning through the answer I would get a different one.
Not so greatI cannot give this book a super high recommendation.
I actually got 670 on my verbal for my GRE, but this book didn't give me much help.
Let me put it this way, in order to get really high grades in GRE verbal, you need a decent amount of advanced vocabulary. The list of words here is insufficient to give you a good score.
I believe that the only people who will benefit from this book are people who already has very good vocabulary and are looking for a quick review on more important words.
The ideal books are recommended in my listmania! for vocabulary building.
Best Book to build GRE Vocab!I bought countless books to build my Vocab for the GRE and this was the one I found most useful. It is comprehensive and helped be significantly raise my score. If you are to buy one book to study vocab for the GRE, this should be it.
Good HelpI must say that my first try at GRE was awful, after that I got this book and studied it like crazy and I improved my verbal score by 200 points. If you are serious about nailing this exam give this book I try.
Worked for me.I used this and the ultimate math refresher to prep for the GRE and scored in the 90th Percentile on the verbal section. I'd say that speaks volumes. Considering I'm the guy who just doesn't do well on standardized tests I'd say it worked pretty well.
