 Very helpful for almost-40 GRE taker November 10, 2008
I found this book to be extremely helpful. I attempted to re-learn math using Barron's and it was incomprehensible at first. GRE for Dummies did an excellent job of explaining most of math concepts you'll find on the GRE. Once I read Dummies, I went back to Barron's and it made a lot more sense. I also thought the verbal test-taking tactics were very helpful. One that really came in handy was making different colored note cards listing similar words so you learn to associate them with each other and with a "positive" or "negative" color. For both verbal and quant, GRE for Dummies provides a lot of explanation for all the practice questions--something that is lacking in other prep materials, especially the practice tests you get from the GRE itself. I would not use this book alone, but it is a great way to get started, especially if you've been out of school for a long time like me. And, it is way more fun to read than the other GRE books!
It's all you need October 23, 2008
A perfectly adequate preparation. Full of helpful tips. Nothing came as a suprise. You don't need anything else.
 This Book is a Dummy October 20, 2008
Probably the worst GRE prep book ever. Get the Princeton review one, and a tutor. This book did not supply adequate or useful information for taking the GRE. In fact, it almost made it seem like the GRE was going to be a piece of cake. Which it isn't. It's not the hardest test ever, but it certainly is not the CBEST. There were not good examples or good strategy advice.
I usually really appreciate this series, so this was definitely a let down.
It's very helpful July 31, 2008
The book is really very helpful.The tactics,and the approach to the topic are simply wonderful.
A Helpful GRE Supplement May 18, 2008
This book is geared for the computer test, and states that throughout the text. I'm currently using it to prepare for taking the GRE later this summer. I would not recommend it as your singular source of preparing for the GRE, but it has lots of helpful tips, hints, and strategies, that I feel it is worth the investmant. The author has spent several decades helping students prepare for standardized tests, so has a lot of experience, and insights into what she has seen work, and what doesn't. No book is going to singularly prepare you for the GRE, I would recommend at least three texts, to cover the three main aspects of the GRE, which are quantative, verbal, and analytical writing skills. This book could easily be completed in 2 or 3 weeks, if you spent an hour or two everyday going through the different sections. Plus, she has a great sense of humor, yet tells it like it is.
