Kaplan GRE Exam 2008 Premier Program

This book will give you an accurate look at the GRE. It will challenge you on your reading analysis skills and vocabulary.

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.

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A GOOD BOOK BUT I ONLY NEEDED THE WRITTEN PORTION OF THE GRE AND THIS INCLUDED EVERYTHIMG, WRITING BOOK MUCH BETTER

It was delivered on time, book is in excellent condition. I haven't had time to use every aspect of the book yet but I'm looking forward to taking the online practice tests and using the handy CD that comes with it. I've been reading the book, and I have already picked up a few things!

I didn't have much time to prepare for the GRE; as a result I wasn't sure if buying this book would be worth it. While I didn't come close to working through the entire thing, with the help of the online diagnostic test, I was able to identify my weaknesses and study accordingly. This was money well spent.
