This book is the only test prep guide that contains questions and topics from actual tests administered worldwide. It contains verbal and quantitative questions from seven actual GRE General Tests and sample analytical writing topics from the complete pool of topics for the analytical writing measure. It includes information about the structure of the test, answering procedures, explanations of correct answers for verbal and quantitative questions, sample writing responses with scores, scoring information, a math review, and test-taking strategies. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good for practice, but has shortcomings.I purchased this after getting through Barron's, Kaplan's and Princeton Review's GRE prep books. I found the ETS GRE Prep book to be useful in providing lots of practice questions [from actual test questions], but I found that the quantitative test questions were much, much easier than the actual questions I faced on the GRE [this is where the other prep books helped, as many of their questions were at a higher level of difficulty]. But, I rated this book three stars as I found the reading comprehension ... Read More Rating:  - Maybe the third GRE book to buyPurchase the Princeton and Barron's GRE prep books first. There is still some useful information here, but the practice questions are way too easy to be considered more than just a introduction to the test. Rating: - Extremely flawed but still necessaryThis is the official review book from the creators of the GRE. There is no other currently published book of real former GRE questions. As such, I consider it necessary for properly preparing to take the GRE. However, the book is terrible in many ways, so use it as a source of GRE practice problems and nothing else. Let me summarize the problems and benefits. Problems: The test material is old. The most recent multiple-choice material in this book is from 1991. The oldest material ...

The reading passages, in particular, are great practice for the real thing. The one key difference, of course, is that the real test is on the computer, but practice with these paper tests can still be very helpful. I wish the AWA section was a bit longer. In fact, I ended up using AWA practice questions from the official GMAT study guide. Rating: - Great Study GuideThis was a great study guide and better than any of the other books I tried. It's written by the people that make the GRE and has a great review for general math, algebra and geometry along with quizzes and practice exams. The only con I could think of was that the book just gives you the answers for the quizzes and practice exams and doesn't work the problem out or explain how it arrived at that answer. Overall, it is a great study guide, especially for the price.
