Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good Quick Review for the GRE
I bought this as a supplement to the thicker Barron's GRE Review and I could have done with one or the other. If you just want a quick review, then this is a great option.

Also, even though it's a small book, I don't feel like it's missing anything. I've got just a little more confidence about standardized tests now.
