i realy appreciate the quickness of the service, and the book is perfect for GRE preparation at most in quantitative section where i scored high. It also gives you an accurate and clear idea about the verbal. Thanks to your team

the condition of the book was fine. no ink or pencil marks; pretty clean.
on the other hand, the GRE Prep book on its own is not good. expected more from the official handbook. course content is sparse and only the first practice test has explanations for the correct answers. haven't taken the test before but the verbal part was extremely difficult and confusing.

I just took the GRE and did really well, and this book was necessity for me. Everybody studies differently, and different things work for different people. I found taking lots of practice tests to be extremely helpful. Nobody can duplicate real GRE questions. Only the ETS can write those distinctive questions, and this is the only book that contains real, ETS-written, GRE questions. It does contain only paper-based practice exams, which are a little different than the computer-based exam that most of us now take. However, it's just the format that's different- not the questions. The questions in this book are just like the questions I saw on the actual test. I studied a lot, and did every single practice exam in this book over the course of time. I did this after going through the Princeton Review's Cracking the GRE, Barron's Essential Words for the GRE and GRE for Dummies. I also got a computer program from Kaplan, which contained no new info but helped me prep for doing the test on a computer. Cracking the GRE and GRE for Dummies both contain detailed breakdowns of the computer-based GRE format, so as long as you familiarize yourself with it, all that matters is understanding the content on the GRE, which is the same on the paper-based as it is on the computer-based. I would highly recommend downloading the PowerPrep software from the ETS website- it's free and has two computer-based practice tests.
Definitely start timing yourself about a month before you take the test- the timing was the hardest part for me. You have to be REALLY fast.
All in all, this book was quite helpful to me- used in conjunction with other materials.

2010-06-24 Great Supplement to GRE study library (5 of 5)
I purchased this book via amazon because it was cheaper than ordering from ETS. I used this as an extra to another book/cd provided by Princeton Review (PR). This book is great in terms of PRACTICE!! it allows you multiple opportunities to work through questions associated with the GRE. I felt that I was really able to apply the knowledge/strategies given to me by the PR book. The limitation is simply that you take as much time as you need to answer the questions in this book, which is not indicative of the test. Make sure you find materials that allow you to take online practice GREs on addition to this book. Practice with this book and apply the strategies to timed practice tests. Great resource would recommend.

I never got my book! I was charged for it immediately and am still waiting for it two months later. Don't buy from them.
