Met expectations Mar 24, 2009
I have found this workbook really helpful. Explanations followed by examples and practice questions. All questions have full detailed answers explaining why a particular choice is correct and/or why the others are incorrect.

Great, but best used in conjunction with another book Aug 14, 2008
I bought this book and used it along with the Princeton Review's GRE book. This book's high points would have to be it's math review section and the strategies offered for each question type in the math, writing, and verbal sections. The math review was by no means in depth, but it was a very good starting point because it listed pretty much every possible math topic that could come up on the GRE which allowed me to go online and get math practice worksheets for each area. The writing section was excellent in this book: it went so far as to even help you brush up on writing (but not grammar) skills, gave examples of essays that received the highest scores, and gave strategies for answering the essay questions. It is important to note that the ETS website actually lists every possible GRE writing prompt for you to look at before the test; take advantage of it. Kaplan's book also was good in terms of finding out what the test would look like. The CD-ROM included was superior for practicing for the real test. The program LOOKS like the real GRE program you'll test on and has similar questions. You'll get your score back as a percentage correct rather than scaled with this CD-ROM and it will help you know which question types you need to work on. It also provides detailed answers for each question so you can understand why you got things wrong. I recommend this book, particularly for its CD-ROM, but I also suggest using it with another book, such as Princeton Review.

Very Detailed Guidbook Jun 21, 2008
This book will give you an accurate look at the GRE. It will challenge you on your reading analysis skills and vocabulary.

The book with the CD-ROM really helps simulate an actual CAT. Jun 17, 2008
I bought the Kaplan GRE Premier Program 2008 edition that comes with the CD-Rom. Note: the CD is only compatible with Windows version 1.0. Though I personally found the book to be less effective than Barron's GRE prep book [for one, I thought Barron's was better organised and had more content in it], the CD-Rom by Kaplan was very useful.
The CD-rom provides access to practice tests for the verbal and quantitative components of the GRE [three tests each]. In addition, we get three CATs with the full exam on each [i.e. the written, verbal and quantitative components]. Once one takes the CATs, a score is provided scaled from 200-800 [except for the essays]. It also provides a detailed answer list with explanations. On the whole, this is a good buy for those preparing to take the GRE.
