2.0 out of 5 stars meh, not sure I'd buy it again, January 21, 2007

By	M. Carter - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I guess this wasn't too bad, but I wish they'd focused a little more on teaching some of the math concepts instead of showing how to plug values to get the answer. Like they admit, none of the math is advanced, so just some reminding of what we learned in jr. high would seem more appropriate than the endless number plugging. The GRE writers write questions that make plugging difficult, to see if you can reason the solution through knowing a little math. The plugging takes more time and leaves more room for error, in my opinion, than just learning how to solve the problem.

I also think their sample tests were not great samples. They had typos and re-used charts between tests. They were not very good predictors of my actual result. I took the four on-line sample tests, and the two from PowerPrep and the actual GRE all in 2 days. Here are my scores:

Princeton Review sample tests:
Quant (4 tests): 670, 610, 650, 690
Verbal: 650, 750, 730, 510

PowerPrep sample tests:
Quant: 720, 700
Verbal: 640, 690

My actual scores: quant 710, verbal 640

Also, in their online sample tests, some of the wording is a bit flippant and many of the verbal questions are far too ambiguous to be representative of real GRE questions. The flippant parts are probably supposed to be light and humorous, but I found it a little offensive to have each verbal 'explanation' include the sentence "Learn your vocabulary!" It implied that anyone who had studied or had a decent vocabulary would KNOW the answer. Not very professional, in my opinion.

PowerPrep (free download from [...]) was better, in my opinion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for some things, December 14, 2006

By	Sound Selector (Philly, PA USA) - See all my reviews

I used the book for about a month to prepare for the GRE's. It was my main source of information. I found the review and tips helpful, especially for the quantitative. However, the writing samples are below par. The author believes that it is not that important to score well on this section, but in my opinion if you are writing a study guide then you should assume that your customers have high standards. Otherwise, why buy a book with the goal of a crappy essay? The book also gains you access to the online practice tests which are really helpful. The math questions seem a bit on the easy side though, compared to the actual test.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for GRE, March 20, 2007

By	A. Maw (usa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I went to Kaplan live lectures and paid about $1350! It was totally waste of time and money. This book has a way of showing you the key points for the exam and their way of attacking math problems are so simple and easy to follow. I would recommmend for those who want to study for GRE.
