GRE Study Books

For those of you who took the GRE - what prep books did you find most helpful? What ones do you not recommend?

Thanks - this board is a lifesaver!

GRE for dummies was a great book! Good luck!

I'm currently finishing up the Kaplan GRE math workbook. I'm pretty lousy at math, and I think this has drastically improved my ability to do well on the GRE.

I highly recommend the Kaplan book/CDROM combination. Barron's is also good. I did not like the book/CD from Rue (too wordy, lousy software).

Good luck!

Princeton Rev. (I used/liked the most)

Kaplan GRE Rev.

Also used the CD from the GRE.

http://www.number2.com was a great site to get me started. All i have to do now is to swallow about 500-1000 new definitions and i'll be all set. Quant is going to be pretty easy for me, i dig math.

I liked Kaplans because it had a very useful CD that you could take practice tests on your computer. It would then tell you which area you should focus on etc. The actual GRE also has free practice tests on it's website that may be useful.

I used Kaplan and Princeton Review. Found that they presented things a little differently and that helped me really absorb the information.

Also used number2.com (less helpful, but free) and the ETS program (great information and hard questions).

Good luck!

I used Barron and GRE for Dummies. The latter was very straight forward and cut to the chase.
