1.0 out of 5 stars WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!!, February 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gre Verbal & Analytical Review [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Complete waste of money. I bought this tape, not from Amazon, and a book, from Amazon. The tape is worhtless. It is badly done and badly planned. Spend your money on the books - they are better than this wanna be tape!

This review is from: Gre Verbal & Analytical Review [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I am 60 years old and decided to go back to graduate school. The school insisted I have the GRE exam with a certain minimum score. I tried the books and they were not working for me. I bought a set of these tapes and watched them twice. The tapes helped me to find my weak points and then I went back to the books working on those weak points. I watched the tapes early in my study and then just before the exam. In the latter one I concentrated on their test taking tips. I exceeded the minumum score and I could not have done it without the tapes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Disregard the previous biased review..., March 15, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Gre Verbal & Analytical Review [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have no idea where the author of the previous review is coming from. I found this program to be first-rate; I know it helped me score higher than I would have otherwise. Worth every penny.
