4.0 out of 5 stars
Smaller is better,
By Todd (Hartsville, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Pass Key to the GRE Test (Barron's Pass Key to the GRE) (Paperback)
After frustrating myself with ETS' GRE book, I found this little gem at a local bookstore. ETS' book does not prepare you for the math/quantitative part of the exam -- the book's exercises are not set up the same way as the computer or written exam. Meaning you have to solve out completely any equations or problems, rather than picking from a set of answers.
This book is considerably cheaper than many of its contemporaries, but don't let that fool you. This book was a better prep tool than its $25-30 brethren. Very helpful was the frequently used GRE word list -- having taken the exam yesterday, I can tell you a lot of the words in the list are on the test. Quite a bargain, and well worth the $9.

Great Study Aid,
This review is from: Pass Key to the GRE Test (Barron's Pass Key to the GRE) (Paperback)
I took the GRE two times before I found this book, and my Quantitative score went up 110 points, on the test I took yesterday, by using this book to study with. It teaches you how to read and understand the problem, how to simplify the problem, and how to narrow down choices if you are unsure. I didn't study the Verbal as much, but I'm sure if I would have my score would have increased a lot too. I spent the little time I did studying on the Quant. part, and I'm glad I did. Please check out this book, and use it. It's wonderful!!

This review is from: Pass Key to the GRE Test (Barron's Pass Key to the GRE) (Paperback)
I've had my share GRE and MCAT books and they all say the same thing: study and study and sleep before the test. This book says something different, something actually useful. I found their vocab section very helpful, the list of words was longer than the 200 common GRE words in a Kaplan book of 2.5X the size. So far, the "Tactics" are the best thing to this book. For each section, they help you with HOW to solve the problems. For instance, in Comparative Problems for Quantitative, they go through how to determine if A is ALWAYS greater, or SOMETIMES greater (if sometimes, then it can't be answer A -- always greater -- or answer C -- always equal). Sounds complicated, but it's been very helpful! Also with hints for substituting in a 1, 0 or -1 to all comparison questions, this can help find a solution.
Anyway, this book, combined with the Ultimate Math Review, I've found that I am finally learning some math. Ewwww.
