4.0 out of 5 stars Good but a little scary, August 9, 2008

By	S. McCloskey - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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).

5.0 out of 5 stars Fast shipping!, April 30, 2009

By	Holly K. Kossover - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!
