Editorial Review: Product Description: This 17th edition of Barrons GRE manual reflects recent Graduate Record Exams and presents six full-length model exams with all questions answered and explained. Tests are similar to recent actual GREs in length, question types, and degree of difficulty. The manual also reviews all GRE test topics: antonym, analogy, and sentence-completion questions, reading comprehension, analytical writing, quantitative comparison questions, data interpretation, and math. The enclosed CD-ROM contains computerized versions of the books subject reviews and practice tests. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Same as Barrons' GRE 2006-2007I thought maybe I should borrow this newer version of the Barron's GRE from the library and see if there's a big difference between this and the 2006-2007 one. I was disappointed that all the materials including the practice exams were the same. I would not bother to get a newer version if you already have the 2006-2007. Rating:  - Excellent Review Book!I've never been moved to write a review before, but this book has influenced me to do so. I hadn't taken a math class for five years before I took the GRE, so I was incredibly worried. On the diagnostic test I scored around a 400. Not so great. Thanks to this book, in less than two weeks I was able to boost my math score to a 680 when I took the real test. I'm sure I could've done even better, if I had started studying earlier! The examples in the math section are clear ...

Of the three, I feel the Princeton Review was the most useful to overall test prep. The Barron's book excels at vocabulary: their list of words is extremely large and pretty comprehensive from what I've seen. In addition, they break down roots and stems which makes taking an educated guess on a word you're unsure of or have never seen substantially easier. I feel ...

The content of the book is EXACTLY the same as the older version. My suggestion is - save your money, buy older version - it's much cheaper and has 99.9% same contents (questions + reviews). Rating: - Helpful for practiceI bought this book about 9 months before I actually took my GRE. The paper practice sections and tests were very helpful however some of the explinations lacked. The math was more helpful than the vocabulary, I would recommend additional help in that area.
