 Rating:  - instant successall it took was a week and I was ready for the gre. I LOVE THIS BOOK! Rating:  - Wait for new edition of book coming upWere this book up-to-date I would have rated it with 4 stars. However, this edition is pre-October 2002, i.e. refers to the old analytical section instead of the new analytic writing one (essay). I had bought it more than a year and only got the chance to go through it now, so I read only what refers to the other two sections (verbal, math).

I got INCREDIBLE results -- one of my scores jumped 300 points from the practice test to when I actually took the GRE. If you are the ...
