I recommend this book with one reservation: it makes highly inaccurate predictions of what your eventual score will be based on your performance on the practice test. I don't know if this is meant to scare you straight or what, but I did 100+ better on the actual GRE than I did on both sections in the book test. Don't let it freak you out! It was the last practice test I took before the real GRE (today) and I definitely went in with a sense of foreboding because I bombed the practice test so hard.

The strategies themselves in the book are good, but for an idea of what an actual GRE will be like, just use the Powerprep software that ETS sends you when you register. It is a much more accurate experience and the scores at the end line up much better with your eventual GRE scores.

I also agree with another reviewer that it seems this book has a whole chapter or so of filler material about how to apply to grad school. Thanks, Kaplan.

Great book for reviewing strategies for taking the GRE! Well organized & easy to read. Good examples and sample tests, as well as keys & references (to other sources).

I like this gre book better than others. It gives you really good strategies so even if you don't know how to answer a question, you can increase your chances of getting it right. From the prelim practice test to the real gre, my verbal score went up by ~100 and my quantitative score went up by ~250.

A worthwhile buy in my opinion.

The book arrived in perfect condition, and is exactly as described (if not in better shape!) It doesn't look used at all. It also arrived extremely fast. Thank you so much!

I didn't fininshed it, but I do have a thorough review of it.
The book is great for the GRE-takers, but you will find it astonished that the program has a sister-program: premiere program!!Know what, I got this fact after I pushed the paying buttom.
But somehow the comprehensive program is still effective for test takers.
Oh, I forget to tell you the latter part of the book--how to apply to college---is somewhat redundant. How could a person be ready to take the GRE when he doesn't know how to apply and select the uni??
