 Rating: - Gre bookThe package was shipped promptly and the book, and CD that came with the book, were in good condition. Rating:  - Great Prep BookAs a professor, I have used Kaplan materials for over 7 years to teach a prep course for my university.

But one thing is the amount of mistakes their book and software has! Come on now....students are relying on Kaplan's to help them with the GRE and their proofreaders can't even help with that. Two Examples: 1. In the software, I chose the right answer and it marked it wrong. Even in its explanation it stated "The answer is 25,000 which makes the answer (D)". But actually 25,000 was answer (C) ... Read More
