>> Great review many practice tests
I love this book because it provides several practice tests and succinct reviews of information I recommend it to all my friends who are taking the GRE
>> Great reference for GRE
I took the GRE twice within two months November 2009 and again in Dec 2009 Princeton Review was right on my score difference My 2nd test scores wasn t as good This book is an easy read with some humor in it The writers do a good job building your confidence The best advice that I found in the book is the importance of scoring really well in the first 1/3 of the test That is crucial as your score is pretty much determined by then ETS book doesn t acknowledge it but its true Also the Princeton Review provided a perfect template to utilize when writing the analytical section I scored a 4 on that After reading these reviews and other reviews on Amazon I purchased this one 2010 plus Barron s Essential Words for the GRE and Barron s GRE flash cards There is an overlap with the words of the GRE flash cards and vocabulary words in the Princeton Review which is not necessarily a bad thing I found myself reading through the Princeton Review because its an easy read and it gives you very useful strategies in taking the test I used them and scored well on the math My verbal wasn t great but if I had more time to build my vocabulary I would have done a lot better This is a must have book Also the online companion is great because you can practice a GRE The scores I got on that test were close to the ones that I got on the actual GRE For vocabuary I would purchase the Barron s Essential Words which I previously mention That is a thorough book but you need to give yourself several months to work through the book There were words in that book that were on the GRE For math in addition to the Princeton Review I got a lot out of the GRE flash cards The math cards in Barron s GRE flash cards were very helpful
Also I would buy ETS s test booklet as well Like the princeton review after you take the practice test questions in the book they explain the logic behind why which answer is the right one
If you can give yourself a solid 3 months of practicing you will do well Princeton Review discourages from studying too long on the test because you can forget some of the strategies by the time you take the test I had to take time out to write this review there are so many resources out there Also check out you can practice your vocabulary GRE type questions and math questions It s a great site
I hope this helps someone Wish everyone the best
