- Best of the Bunch
I used this, along with the Barron's book and the Kaplan GRE vocabulary flash cards. Of the three, this was most essential to my test prep. Although I feel both the Barron's and Princeton Review books had helpful ways to approach the test, what set the Princeton Review book apart was its computer-adjusted practice tests. These were essential to getting a feel for the test - acing the GRE is as much about how to take the test as it is about knowing the answers.

By taking multiple practice tests, I was able to discover the optimal way to space my timing on the test. Since you can't skip questions, it is essential to know how much time to spend to tackle a difficult question before making an educated guess and moving on (this is more of an issue for the math than the verbal). In addition, PR offers the ability to have your analytical writing samples scored. The scoring turnaround is quick and helpful. ... Read More

- Excellent book, can be used alone, but I recommend using it with another book.
This was a great book! I have to say its only real weak point is that it offers less in terms of test-taking strategy, but does a superior job giving you the actual knowledge you need to answer the questions. The math section of this book was extremely in-depth and I only used worksheets I found online as a means of getting extra practice. The verbal section was so-so, but the vocab list was great. I made flashcards with all the words I didn't know from the book's lists and I ended up dramatically expanding my vocabulary. The writing section of the book was okay, but not that great. I think Kaplan's book's writing section was much more useful. I did not use the DVD at all with this book and I didn't use the online tests, but I don't know how good they are. I used this book for all of my verbal prep except practice tests and I used this book for almost all of my math review. I used the Kaplan book for the writing ... Read More

- A Very Good Guide (and online resource)!
Yesss! I got a very good score on the GRE! Like many others, I used more than one method to prepare (Kaplan, Princeton Review, ETS.) Each of them, of course, has positives and negatives about them. But if I have to pick one that is the MOST responsible for my once-thought-to-be-unachievable-by-me score, it is the Princeton Review w/DVD.

Here is the thing. Much of this book's helpfulness is owed to the online access to Princeton Review's GRE website. There, you will find some very good and own to earch online lessons, and be able to construct a 'tailor-made' education plan that takes into account your present levels and amount of available time before your test.

The most invaluable thing about the online feature is the GRE computer adaptive practice tests (4 of them, with purchase of this book). Yes, there are many other books that offer sample tests, but - unlike the Kaplan CD I bought, and ... Read More

- Should be used in conjunction with other prep books as it has shortcomings
Having just sat for the GRE today and obtained a satisfying score, I decided to review all the GRE prep books I used. Firstly, I have been out of college for 13 years and hated Math [I was an English major]and so I was quite apprehensive in preparing for the GRE. Three books helped me get through the GRE - Barron's, Kaplan's and the Princeton Review, in that order.

In short, I found Barron's to be the most useful in terms of preparing for the verbal and quantitative component, Kaplan's for the quantitative component [though they really need better editors, there were many typos], and finally the Princeton Review for the essay prep. Of the three, I got Kaplan's and the Princeton Review with the CD-ROM and DVD. I really found Kaplan's CAT tests to be challenging and helped me prepare for the CAT. However, the Princeton Review falls short in this aspect. Though the CAT tests were generally good, to access them, ... Read More
