Product Description
This manual's new edition offers prospective graduate students intensive preparation for the GRE Graduate Record Exam. Opening chapters provide a perspective on the exam with a GRE overview, advice on effective test-taking tactics, and a diagnostic test to help students pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses. Subsequent chapters review all GRE test areas and include practice exercises for the following topics: antonym, analogy, and sentence-completion questions, reading comprehension, vocabulary, analytical writing, discrete quantitative questions, quantitative comparison questions, data interpretation questions, and math. The math review includes questions in arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. The manual's concluding section presents five full-length model exams that reflect recent GREs in length, question types, and degree of difficulty. All questions are answered and explained. The book comes with an enclosed CD-ROM that presents two brand-new computer-adaptive model GREs. The computer-adaptive tests (or CATs) simulate actual test-taking conditions, and provide automatic scoring, as well as answers and explanations for all questions.

 My personal favorite out of the popular GRE books November 28, 2009

I studied every day for one month and scored 720 on verbal and 760 on quant. I used the Kaplan GRE Exam 2010 Premier Live Online Book, Kaplan's 500 vocab flashcards, Princeton's latest prep book, and Barron's guide with the CD (did not attend any of those exorbitantly priced classes). IMO, Barron's provided the best prep-- it had the most in-depth coverage. I especially liked that the book included plenty of practice problems and a comprehensive word bank. The guide's main weakness was its practice tests. Kaplan/Princeton provided more realistic Computer Adaptive Tests. FYI: For practice exams that best mimic the real thing, check out the powerprep software (offered for FREE by ETS, the diabolical company that generates GREs). Good luck!!
Great Book March 30, 2010

Read cover to cover. Then re-read and do all the exercises. Tests are true to original. I took the exam few weeks ago. Could not have done it without the book. Review of knowledge and tactics are the best.
Excellent practice and prep! February 8, 2010

I used it for 2 months to re-take the computer-based GRE. It definitively increase my performance on the test, although it has a weakness in the prep-tools for the analytical writing section of the test. Nonetheless, it has hundreds of good practice exercises for all question types on the GRE. But remember: this is not a book to review on one week; it won't work! You need at least 2 months to prepare for the CBT-GRE.
Excellent Choice July 7, 2010

Hi, I decided to purchase this product because of some other customer's reviews. I would like to mention that the Math part is really easy to understand, all concepts are well explained, it has a lot of examples with their solutions. The book shows a lot of tips that can help speed your responses. I am a spanish speaker student so at the beginning with other text it was kind of hard to understand what was the terms about but the way this book explain concepts and problems was really easy to figure out what was it about. I do recommend you all to purchase this book MAINLY to review the math you need to take the GRE.
Great study guide August 5, 2010

I used a variety of GRE prep materials prior to taking the test (which I just took this morning) and I liked the Barron's book a lot. It was very straightforward and clearly written. I especially liked the large number of practice problems and tests. My book had a Diagnostic Test and two Model Tests (I have no idea what the difference is, if anything) plus the CD which had two more full-length tests. There were detailed explanations to all of the problems on the practice tests as well as practice problems. I also used the Princeton Review book, which I also highly recommend. The main advantage, in my opinion, to the Barron's book are the practice tests. Between the two books I had enough that I could take one every 10 days or so and see my scores improve as I got more familiar and comfortable with the test.
