 Rating:  - Less helpful than the ETS materialsThe Kaplan book isn't completely unhelpful: the diagnostic test is useful for figuring out what areas you need to study, and it's decent for a math review. It also goes over what a CAT is and how CAT strategy differs from the old pen/paper strategies. However, I found the free materials supplied by ETS (mainly the PowerPrep program) after registration were much more helpful. Kaplan gives you verbal section techniques that can be helpful if you have no idea what any of the words mean, ...

I have not even started the Online material, but I hear it is just as bad if not worse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rating:  - Excellent practice tests, "almost" similar to actual GRE test.This book is good for practicing computer adapted tests (CAT).If you want to get the feel and acclimate yourself to computer adapted tests, this is the book for you. I am used to paper based exam and I am very wary of the new GRE format. I took my first GRE exam last week and I scored in the top 90th percentile, thanks to this book. Not including the diagnostic test, you will have access to fifteen online simulated GRE tests, which to my opinion almost similar to the actual GRE test that I took last ... Read More Rating:  - Lots of typos for a GRE Prep BookI bought the 2009 version of this book in the spring, intending to study and then take the GRE in December. Well of course you get busy and don't study too much over the summer so the bulk of my studies began in October. Guess what? The online support portion of program expired! So I bought another book. This time, the Kaplan website says my registration code has already been used (like someone went to the bookstore, wrote down the code out of a book, took the number home and got free online program). ... Read More Rating: - extremely helpfulI purchased this after looking at a friend's copy. The book itself is very thorough, has lots of practice questions. I liked this better than other books I used because it deals with the skills you need to answer the GRE questions effectively, not just review of the concepts. The online features you get with the book are excellent - lots more practice quizzes and tests. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is planning to take the GRE.
