 Perhaps the best book for the GRE! November 7, 2007

As a former graduate student and someone who has already taken the GRE before, several times, I went into preparing for the GRE in a way that a former prisoner goes back into prison. Those who have taken the test before will understand what I mean. The GRE forces some people, those who want to do particularly well on the test, to kill their social life and become prisoners in their homes studying for this test every single day!
I want to wholeheartedly and without reservations recommend the Barron's GRE book, as it takes the time to cover the subject matter at a degree which surpasses any $1000 Kaplan class you will ever take. It forces you to analyze the questions, analyze your own approach/method, and to truly (I cannot stress this enough) LEARN (not just regurgitate, my friend) the material need for success on the GRE.
The GRE is not a test of regurgitation, but a test of your ability to problem solve, and problem solve well. Match this book with the Princeton review 2008 or 2007 book and you will be golden. Nothing else is needed. You will spend roughly $40 and will accomplish much more than others who have chose to take the expensive GRE courses.

Wonderful book when you are starting to learn GRE. If you read through the book thoroughly you can easily go above 600+ in GRE verbal
Nice GRE Review April 21, 2008

I had 5 weeks to prepare and I really appreciated the thoroughness of this GRE prep./review book and it made me feel like I could perform decently. If you're far removed from middle and high school math I would recommend doing the math review section at the latter end of the book before you go through the quantitative section. I did not do it that way and ended up feeling a bit stupid because I could not figure out the math to several problems. For the money, this was a great tool to use to review and prep. for the GRE.

Where else would you prepare GRE from. I got it for the third geenration of my loved ones, as a gift for the GRE preparation. I couldnt think of any other title except the one that served me in my years. Only now it carries 2008 seal.
it did the job December 4, 2008

I went back to school after 22 years and needed to update my skills. This book pointed me in right direction.
