 The best preparation January 2, 2009
This is the best preparation for the GRE general test. These are the actual problems of the past GRE problems. Other preparation courses and materials could actually lead astray, because they are generated from different sources and their thinking process often do not match the test itself. For that reason alone, I would not even try the Kaplan's. This book has 6 actual tests, and they are the real problems. The best way to study for the exam is to do the exams, find our where you went wrong, and try as hard as possible to figure out why your answer was wrong. That way, you will actually learn something and you will remember it. While the lack of explanation makes it more difficult, figuring it out yourself will make you actually learn from the errors. This is a much more effective way to learn.
 Quantitative Sections Not an Accurate Reflection of Actual CAT December 14, 2008
This is a decent book if you don't care about learning all the strategies that are the exact same as the ones you learned for the SAT. However, I found the quantitative sections were not an accurate reflection of the actual computer-adaptive test (CAT).
For someone who was looking to essentially ace the math, I went through these practice math tests and would finish with plenty of time to spare (~10 minutes) and only finding the last couple problems per section challenging. Based on these tests I thought I was well prepared. Since the actual test is computer adaptive, almost every question I got was of equal difficulty to the most 5-10 challenging questions per practice set and thus more time consuming. So while solving the problems wasn't so much of an issue, time suddenly was when it hadn't been before.
So I guess I should ask if anyone knows a good resource for harder math questions or practice CATs?
good book December 8, 2008

Review for GRE book from ETS November 17, 2008
This book is extremely important for anyone who want to take GRE. According to my last GRE, some of questions in this book were in the real test. Spare a lot of your time preparing for GRE with this book. I'm sure that everyone will have the high score.
 Reservation November 10, 2008
The product was not represented well. The seller said the book was in "good condition" well in fact it was in very poor condition. The answer choices were not legible due to markings, and the passages had notes on about 85% of the pages. This was a true disappointment because I thought I would be getting a quality product.
When I did contact the seller, he was very apologetic and agreed to provide me with a full refund. Since then, he has followed through and I was reimbursed the full cost. Perhaps the seller made an honest error and I hope that is the case. Regardless, there needs to be better quality control to not create mishaps such as this.
