| Make sure to have another study guideI used the Barrons and Kaplan study guides to prepare for the GRE. Of the two I greatly preferred the Barrons. I felt the Kaplan questions, practice tests and overall quality of the material was inferior to Barrons. However, one could do much worse than use the Kaplan's guide, as I went through quite a few of the GRE books that are available at the library and bookstore, and in comparison to many others, Kaplans appears to be decent. Being in engineering, I stressed the math section and essay section and did not really take advantage of the verbal portions of the study guides, so I really cannot comment on if Barrons or Kaplans is better for that portion of the test. For the math section, it felt weaker than the Barron's, and the questions and practice exams seemed easier. For the essay, Kaplan's was ok with the sample essays, however a lot of example essays are also available through the downloadable sample test software off of the GRE website, and I thought those were better.

| Product Description Few prospects are as frightening to graduate school applicants as taking the GRE. Ironically, most preparation guides only cover half of what students need to know to get a top score on the exam. To ace the GRE, students must master far more than the requisite concepts in math, grammar and writing; they must learn the tricks of the test writers, who tend to ask the same types of questions, with the same types of trips, traps and pitfalls, on every exam. This publication addresses the second half of the equation, by “teaching the test” in an efficient and practical manner. It presents targeted strategies for each section of the GRE, along with dozens of relevant examples. Readers will learn the sneaky ways that test writers try to confuse students and distract them from the correct answer choices. They will learn practical (and manageable) ways to learn new vocabulary words and conquer tough math problems. Most importantly, they will learn how to exploit the predictability of the GRE, which make it a surprisingly learnable test. For many students, the GRE is the greatest obstacle they will face in the graduate school admissions process. With so much as stake, they must work smarter (rather than harder), to earn a top score. This savvy publication shows them how.

| A Dwindling HeritageA chronicle of lost buildigs and architecture, the book brings home the ongoing
disregard for keeping things of worthiness. Here's a majestic mansion, razed, and
presto: we have a parking lot. This is a book to have on a table, and I'll usually
take it a few pages at a time, when I have a moment. The author has tracked down
some long ago photographs and adds some good commentary on architects of the era.
Towns and cities across America are represented, so you might find one of the sites
nearby. An interesting trip.

| Not perfect, but then what study guide CAN be?Contrary to the previous two reviewers, I did find that using the Princeton Study guide helped me in my preparation for and approach to the GRE Subject test. It is true that many of the emphasized texts did not appear on the version I took (no "Ulysses" or "Second Coming", "Elegy in a Country Churchyard" or Herrick's Julia poems), but quite a few were there, and the clues this book offered to spot such works (e.g. Pepys' diary, the distinctions between J.S. Mill and Cardinal Newman) helped me rack up more points than I otherwise would have. I will not argue with the others on the issue of modern lit: the book is much too light on 20th century stuff, which did appear substantially on my test. Princeton Review NEEDS to update this aspect of their book; however, I was prepared for such questions based on my reviewing of Norton Anthologies, a suggestion that this book stresses highly. No 20th century author who appeared on the test is absent from the Nortons. I dont know about anyone else, but the fact that the sample test in this book was more difficult than the actual test made me feel better about my performance last week. Also, my test featured a comparable amount of questions matching authors to novels and short passages to titles. I still think that a test-taker who does not utilize this book will be at a serious disadvantage when test-day comes; in addition to purchasing this book, I also recommend using Edith Hamilton's "Mythology" to solidify your knowledge of Greek/Roman stories (it helped me to retain the names of characters, which I often have a problem with when reading plot summaries), and, if your library has it, the Martin S. Day series on the history of English Literature, in three volumes. It's out of print, but a great study tools. Masterplots, if you can check them out or access them in a library, are good for Victorian mega novels and Continental Lit (Goethe, Ibsen, Mann, Balzac, Brecht, etc), though you shouldn't focus too much here. As for the 20th century stuff, focus on any Noble Prize winner, look over Nortons, and possibly through Salon.Com's Guide to Contemporary Authors, but realize that, especially with the last 50 years of lit, it's anybody's guess who they might pick. Good luck!
