Very easy to use. Haven't read other GRE preparation books, but I think this one's pretty good because it simplifies everything and has a lot of information on how to approach problems. Also gives you vocabulary to study and sample tests.I used Princeton's online sample test(which you can use my registering the book you have) only once, and I wished I had taken more of those. Won't reveal my score here but I think better with the book than with out it. Also wished I had taken the test at noon and in the morning because I've been having insomnia lately. Anyway, it's over!!

Best GRE study guide I have had.

A higher compliment can hardly be paid to a book than to say that reading it fundamentally changes one's outlook on life. Still more impressive are accolades praising a book's cover design, font selection, and chapter headline flourishes.

This book deserves no such veneration. That said, it did help me lose close to 30% of my hair and shave 0.5 points off my senior year GPA as I crammed words like "perspicacity" and "saturnine" into my tortured brain during International Trade class. And, along the way, it may have even raised my GRE score a few points as well. Hats off to you, Princeton -- you write a damn fine book, but I doubt you'll get me into your namesake.

I looked through 1000's of these books. This one kept me up, under the covers, with a flash light on. Alexis asked me to just turn the bedside lamp on, but the math section was so true, so relevant, I needed it all to myself. It didn't actually turn out helping that much on the GRE, to many slope questions, to little time.

It has a funny, but strange voice...there's a lot of stuff about an elf that lives in the GRE computers and the stupid hacks who write the test, but it is also a very helpful book. The harder math stuff is very well explained and the sections are easy to use.

[Grace]

I will review this when I take the actual test!

[Angie]
