Will someone please give me the best top two current study guides for the GRE? I am getting confused with all the choices, years, and editions. Thanks so much in advance!!!!!

PS--I do realize that there is so much free study guide info on the net, but am looking for hard copy books as well. Thanks!

treess,

I used Kaplan's "GRE Premier Program: 2008 Edition" and feel like it really helped. I did not have a whole lot of time to prepare for the exam, so I did not have time to take the practice exams on the included CD. I will say, though, that both the analytical and the verbal sections were a whole lot more manageable for me after thoroughly reviewing the material. I ended up scoring about 200 points higher on the actual GRE than I did on a (Kaplan-sponsored) GRE assessment/predictor test last fall, so I am quite pleased. I bought my copy at Barnes & Noble for $36.00 plus tax. IMHO, it was worth every cent. I hope this helps.

PS - also take advantage of the GRE PowerPrep software that is available for the ETS web site (for free). That will let you know exactly how the test "looks and feels". That also helped tremendously.

I used the PowerPrep software and did pretty well.
