Books for Prep | |
 - Super high yield -- best money I spent on the GREThis GRE book has basically all of the same techniques as much larger books from Kaplan and Princeton, but doesn't waste your time with lengthy discourse. It's right to the point, which is exactly the way you want it. I didn't use this book as a last-minute cram, I read it before starting my study program and it saved me countless hours of trying to figure out strategies for the question types. This method was extremely effective and highly recommended. Finishing the book in an afternoon or two is not difficult. Final note: You will definitely need a large word list to study and some practice tests. The free GRE powerprep tests are similar to actual GRE questions and are scaled correctly, unlike the Kaplan tests in both respects. I used the GRE Verbal Workout for it's word lists and was not especially satisfied. The book "1000 Most Important Words," while not designed for the GRE, would have been much more thorough and effective, not to mention a third of the price. Good luck!
