Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Great for Math Section
The back of the book is great - especially the math part. It gets straight to the point and tells you EXACTLY what you'll find on the exam.

However the verbal and written parts are not as well covered. I do like their idea (maybe other books use this too?) of grouping the vocabulary words so that you know a more general definition for a lot of words rather than an exact for a few, if you are in a hurry it's a good way to study vocab.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Came as ordered

In addition, the writing section format was very useful...the ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - NOT INDICATIVE OF ACTUAL GRADE!
Practice test one:
Score: Verbal: 506 Quantitative: 420
Practice test two:
Score: Verbal: 600 Quantitative: 480
Practice test three (3 hours before taking GRE):
Score: Verbal: 520 Quantitative: 500

(This had me an emotional wreck the day of the GRE)

MY ACTUAL First time GRE SCORES:
Verbal: 720 Quantitative: 620

My only belief is that this book and program is designed to convince you to buy the courses. That being said, the ... Read More
