Bryan,
I found the Kaplan Premier Program book to be real helpful. It has words in the back that are used frequently and I saw some of them on the exam. They also have math equations frequently used. Has many practice tests, cd and access to the web site to practice. For $35.00, it is well worth it. I studied probably about 20 hours for the GRE and scored 550 verbal and 630 math, so not a great score but decent. I may retake for scholarship possibilities also. I think if you studied 60-80hours total you would really do well.
Just a thought.

I used the Kaplan book as well. Very helpful. I also tutored another student on the math section and did a lot better on the math section because of it. Studied vocab every few nights for eight months with little improvement. Before studying, I got a 480 verbal and 660 math. After studying, I got a 520 verbal and 790 math for a 1310 total. Also, I had two full writing sections. One section was the real thing and the other section was for future tests. Only scored a 4.0/6 on those.

I have already been accepted to a great CRNA program that starts Fall '08, but I am going to be re-taking the GRE in the next couple of months to better compete for scholarships. I took my GRE in late Sept '07. With literally 6 hrs. of study time, on 4.5 hrs. sleep, and after a 2.5 hr. drive I scored a meager V-520, Q-510. Evidently, the obligatory >1000 helped get me in...but I need 1100-1150 to reach scholarship range at my school (U. of Cincinnati).
Anyone taken the test after the Nov. 2007 changes?
I read somewhere that the short answer/fill in the blank questions are experimental for now and that you may only see one per GRE (or none). I am really hoping that 2 months or so of study time can get me the score I need, any input would be appreciated from folks who re-took the test and scored higher on test #2 (like before and after scores).
