 Rating:  - terrible, many, many typosAbsolutely terrible. Is there anything worse than marking an answer incorrectly on a practice test, then, after examining the explanation and answer key, to figure out that the answer key is wrong and the authors failed to solve a math problem correctly? math is math, and they answered their own questions incorrectly. There are typos everywhere, including in mathmatical explanations. I think there wasn't a single proofreader of this book. In the practice tests, the quantitative time ... Read More Rating: - A waste of moneyI found this book to be completely useless. I went through the entire quantitative section and found that the questions given in the study guide were about a hundred times easier than the questions on the actual test. Many concepts weren't gone over, the verbal section is outdated, and the CD practice tests are incredibly easy compared to the real thing. The explanations on the verbal section of the CD were about the only useful thing about this package but they are torturous to go over. Don't waste ...

I probably could have done even better had I been more thorough in my preparation, but the percentiles qualify me for most graduate programs. The salient point is, I spent minimal time studying and still obtained a decent score; this indicates the book's approach is solid. Getting the most benefit from this book does require studying it from cover to cover. But, doing ... Read More Rating: - waste of money and timeWhere do I start? The vocab in the analogies and antonyms varies....from something a 7th grader could manage to some obscure word that probably five people in the entire world have ever seen before. Parts of speech don't match, and the analogies are sometimes just terrible Take, for example, "a particle is PART of an atom". Seriously? If you don't know basic physics, pick a different analogy ffs. Reading comprehension questions are ridiculously basic, except for ... Read More Rating: - Very dated I studied for the GRE for 6 solid months and have used every book available on the topic. This book was the only one whose verbal section was entirely outdated. For example, there was a practice test that had reading comprehension questions dealing with material that was taken out of the test years ago (such as terms relating to analysis). Also, I had problems with the analogy questions. On the real GRE, the parts of speech are ALWAYS congruent to the stem word. This was not the case in this book! I immediately ... Read More
