CD won't workI have yet to take the GRE test but have gone through the entire book as preparation. So far I'be been impressed with the explanations given and the amount of practice problems. However, I paid for a book with a CD-Rom so that I could take the 2 full practice tests. I checked my computer's system requirements (it's 6 months old) and they say its compatible. But when I put the CD in it opens the home screen but there aren't any buttons to push to precede from there. I've tried everything and I still can't get it to open in order to take the practice tests!
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.
Excellent ChoiceHi, I decided to purchase this product because of some other customer's reviews. I would like to mention that the Math part is really easy to understand, all concepts are well explained, it has a lot of examples with their solutions. The book shows a lot of tips that can help speed your responses. I am a spanish speaker student so at the beginning with other text it was kind of hard to understand what was the terms about but the way this book explain concepts and problems was really easy to figure out what was it about. I do recommend you all to purchase this book MAINLY to review the math you need to take the GRE.
Poorly OrganizedMy biggest gripe with this book is the poor organization, particularly when it comes to math review. There are 96 pages on math and the table of contents only lists three divisions: arithmetic, algebra, geometry. So, lets say I'm looking to find out the way to solve inequalities, I need to flip through the entire algebra section to find it. Its extremely annoying when I'm doing review and it takes me 2 minutes just to find the page with the info on how to do the problem.
CD does not work with window 7if you are using window 7, double check if teh cd will work. in our case it did not.
Product DescriptionThis manual’s new edition offers prospective graduate students intensive preparation for the GRE Graduate Record Exam. Opening chapters provide a perspective on the exam with a GRE overview, advice on effective test-taking tactics, and a diagnostic test to help students pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses. Subsequent chapters review all GRE test areas and include practice exercises for the following topics: antonym, analogy, and sentence-completion questions, reading comprehension, vocabulary, analytical writing, discrete quantitative questions, quantitative comparison questions, data interpretation questions, and math. The math review includes questions in arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. The manual’s concluding section presents five full-length model exams that reflect recent GREs in length, question types, and degree of difficulty. All questions are answered and explained. The book comes with an enclosed CD-ROM that presents two brand-new computer-adaptive model GREs. The computer-adaptive tests (or CATs) simulate actual test-taking conditions, and provide automatic scoring, as well as answers and explanations for all questions.
