Better than Barron's

I initially used the Barron's GRE prep book and got a 540 on the verbal section and 640 on quantitative. My math score was low relative to those of accepted students for the programs I am applying to, and the Barron's book didn't have enough examples. I know all the concepts behind the math questions so the concept explanations in the Barron's book didn't help me...I was having trouble seeing through the "tricks." I bought this book along with the Kaplan vocabulary flash cards and was able to raise my scores to 710 in verbal and 720 in quantitative.

I really liked the Kaplan book because it is very explicit in all of its explanations. The most useful part of the book was the section listing the dozens of math question types one will encounter and the steps to solve them. There were fewer practice questions than in the Barron's book, but those explanations more than made up for it. The tips on answering verbal questions were also very helpful, though the exercises were kind of silly. The tests on the CD had a similar setup to the actual GRE and were accurate in terms of question types and difficulty.

I do have to dock a star for the numerous typos and errors in the book as well as the fact that I couldn't get the online tests to work and Kaplan never answered my email requesting help.

All in all, I am very happy with this review book. It is WAY cheaper than those courses Kaplan offers. Between this book, the vocabulary flash cards, and doing as many practice tests as possible, you almost certainly raise your score.

A good choice

I struggled for several weeks (especially with the math) using the Kaplan study guide. I guess it really depends on what type of learner you are, but I found this book to be easier to follow and it had more time-saving tips. Also, many of the math tips were easy to understand and very helpful.

Almost-40 perspective

I just took the GRE and am positive I got the verbal score I got because I reviewed the vocabulary lists in Barron's. If you review all the words and really learn the ones noted as appearing most frequently, you will be well-prepared for verbal. I crammed vocabulary in the last 10-14 days and got a 650 on verbal, which is more than I need for my program.

I did not find Barron's as helpful with the quantitative section. Having not seen math in neary 20 years, I had a lot of reviewing to do. I found the organization of the math chapters confusing, and the explanations incomprehensible at first. I bought GRE for Dummies and used that to review math, then used Barron's to supplement and to have more practice questions. The math review on the ETS GRE website is also good.

I don't know what the deal was with the practice tests from Barron's, but my scores on those were very low in comparison to the two you get from ETS when you register for the GRE. My scores using the GRE-provided practice tests were much more in line with my actual. I was feeling very discouraged after taking the Barron's practice tests, but I'm happy with my actual scores.

Not enough for GMAT

I just finished my GMAT exam yesterday and not found this book helpful. I like the layout of all the contents and the exercises are great. However, this book is only good for "refresh" my rusty memory. I need something more advanced. Besides, this book was published in 1999 and GMAT has gone a little more difficult than it was before. So, if you are like me who is preparing for GMAT, you can definitely get this book for a easy start, but make sure you get aother book that is more updated and more advanced.

Don't Use ANY LSAT book That Comes With A CD!!!

As a professional LSAT tutor/blogger in NYC, I can tell you that it is CRUCIAL that you practice only with real practice exams published by LSAC. The LSAT is not a computerized exam. It has never been one.

When LSAT prep companies start publishing books with CDs in them, you know that they're just trying to take your money. Steer clear of this book and go with LSAC's "Next 10 Actual Official LSAT Preptests."
