 Rating:  - A few good bits, but overall doesn't cut itI bought this book after I had finished with my Baron's one. It was like night and day. This book uses a whole page for a single triangle diagram. Most of the advice is fluff, like "Don't let the test takers psych you out". There aren't many tactics at all, at least not useful ones. I finished the whole book in two nights and just felt like I hadn't gained anything. If you want to cram for a weekend, it's a great choice, and it's probably worth flipping through in Barnes and Noble, but don't bother ...

Rating: - Great so farI chose this study manual after reading many reviews for all the top books on here. I am about halfway through the book and already feel way more prepared to take the GRE. I had taken some practice tests online before and really struggled with the analogies section. After reading how to break it down and guess smart I got all the practice test right! It felt good to learn strategies and methods beyond just the basic knowledge of vocabulary. I also bought the Barron's flashcards just so I would ...

That being said, I was completely unprepared for the GRE using just the book. Countless times I tried to use the on-line supplements and the website continually locked up or timed out. I did try different computers with different connections with the same result. I have been out of school for over a decade and can't remember the last time I have taken a timed test. You really need ... Read More Rating: - Princeton GREThe tips they have are useful in a very "to-the-point" manner. It serves as a good refresher to some of the things I haven't been tested on since the SATs. I figured the key is still in learning more vocabulary words and I resorted to searching online help rather than using only the list provided in this book. I thought the definitions given were too simple and does not allow me to fully grasp the context of the word I am learning.
