Cracking the GRE, 2010 Edition (Graduate School Test Preparation),   ISBN:9780375429323

Customer Rating: 

I feel that this book is the quintessential tool in a student's preparation for a GRE test. It gives you great advice on all fronts (Verbal, Math and Analytical Writing), allows you to access two full online tests on their website and has a complete list of problems at the end of each section. Its section dedicated to Analytical Writing is specially helpful for those who haven't written critical and analytical writing in a while. It is actually quite useful and intellectually stimulating even after you've taken the GRE. Good luck to those preparing for the test.

I just got this book late last week and have paged through it a couple times. I have come to realize that there is A LOT more material than I imagined. I am planning on taking the test Feb. 2010 and believe, from what I've read so far, that this book will come in very handy for my studying needs. It gives helpful tips and makes you feel less stressed about what/how they grade the test. I would recommend this book to others...Good luck to all :)

I purchased the Princeton Review and Kaplan GRE study books several months ago. I started with Kaplan and found it more confusing than helpful. I read the first section or two, and then did not continue with this book. Princeton Review, however, was much more clear, in my opinion. Before studying at all, I scored a 490 verbal and 490 quantitative on the PR computer adaptive test (very helpful!). I spent the next two months studying about 10 hours each week. My main obstacle was learning new vocab, whereas I really just needed a bit of review for math. I memorized the first 4 vocab lists in PR's "hit parade" (out of 6). I also bought ETS's "Practicing to Take the GRE" book, which contains actual past-used paper tests. The PR book does not provide enough practice problems, which would be my only complaint, so definitely buy ETS's book as well. I also found the Writing Section in PR to be extremely helpful. I went into the test with the structure for the essays already planned out.
The last week of studying, I took 2 full tests to get a good idea of how to pace myself (VERY important!) and how tired I would be by the final section. Again, the ETS and PR books are all I used to study. I took only 1 math and 1 english class in college, so I'm not exactly an expert in either area. On the actual GRE, I scored a 730 Quant, 610 Verbal. I would definitely recommend these two books to anyone taking the GRE. I am thrilled that I don't have to worry about taking the GRE again for a higher score!
