 Rating: - not my first choiceThe CD does not work with Windows 2000. I tried it several times. The book is ok; it has an extensive vocabulary list, which is helpful, and some good tips.

This book is far and away the worst I have used, and so I write so that you can avoid my mistake. I bought the book so that I could sample many GRE tests, as well as practice with the CD-Rom. I now realize this book has helped me with neither. First, of the 6 full-lenght exams, four of the exams' questions are used to compose the questions on the CD-exam. ... Read More
