The Nickelback of GRE Prep I've been a GRE tutor since 2008. We tutors tend to agree than Kaplan GRE books are some of the worst in the industry, and this one is no exception. Poor question realism, mediocre advice, and spotty coverage of GRE concepts.Why, then, do so many students buy them? The brand name and the millions of Kaplan marketing dollars. There are so many better options, though. Just like talking to someone whose favorite band is Nickelback - you want to tell them about the thousands of other bands that are so much better.(No offense if you like Nickelback, but come on - your FAVORITE band?)Anyway, skip this book and make sure most of your learning is from official ETS GRE questions and tests. There are better sources of technique out there for free on YouTube, as well, or from books like The Princeton Review or Manhattan Prep. And you can learn tons of math for free on Khan Academy.ehh.. maybe not this one. I don't know if I can really recommend this book.The basic material is quite good, it gives a very good overview of basic math, and verbal test taking skills. The vocabulary lists are extensive and pretty well organized too. So in terms of raw study material, this book is fine.However, when it comes to actual GRE preparation, this book is totally inadequate. After taking the actual GRE, I realized two things.First: the verbal practice material was massively harder than the actual GRE. The basic question format was similar, but the GRE was more balanced in terms of vocabulary use, and the reading passages were more clear. The Kaplan questions were written as though they were being paid per thesaurus word, and were almost comical in their overuse of fancy vocabulary words. The end result was that I was very worried about how I'd do on the GRE verbal section, when in fact I basically aced it.Second, the quantitative practice material was incredibly easy in comparison to the GRE. I basically nailed all the practice question sets, and going into the test, I felt very confident that I was going to recognize tricks and be able to analyze the questions well. What actually happened was that I was absolutely blindsided by the difficulty of the questions. My score was adequate but not great. I ran out of time on every math section, and by the end I was actually laughing at the screen because of how woefully unprepared I was for the types of questions I was being asked. The Kaplan material gave me absolutely zero awareness of what I was walking into. I was truly shocked.On the plus side, for $20-ish, you get a pretty good set of basic study material. If your math skills have been underutilized for years, and you don't read enough for fun, this book will help you at least get up to a functional level, so in that respect I don't feel ripped off.However, as an actual preparation guide for the GRE? Absolutely not. Indeed, the "test day" section itself is actually incorrect, because among other thing it tells you to bring a watch and snacks/drinks, whereas watches are expressly banned by ETS, and the testing center didn't allow any kind of food or drink at all.Virtually Identical to the 2017 Edition, with zero real GRE questions. I'm a Harvard grad, 99% GRE scorer (337, 168Q / 169V / 5.5 AW) and professional GRE tutor since 2002. Although Kaplan books are consistently among the top-selling GRE guides on Amazon, I usually find them to be of poor to mediocre quality, and this book is no exception. In particular, it is important to note that this book, like all third-party GRE strategy books, does not contain any real GRE questions. Instead, the practice tests and GRE questions within are entirely synthetic--written by Kaplan, not ETS, the maker of the GRE--and thus are often lacking from a realism standpoint.GRE Prep Plus 2018 (currently $24) is marketed as a "comprehensive prep system" for the GRE. Yet like its predecessor, GRE Premier 2017 with 6 Practice Tests: Online + Book + Videos + Mobile (Kaplan Test Prep), to which it is virtually identical in content, almost nowhere in the book (other than one line of text buried on page 576) do the authors reference the GRE official test materials, such as the Official Guide to the GRE The Official Guide to the GRE General Test, Third Edition, the GRE Super Power Pack Official GRE Super Power Pack 2/E (Test Prep), and the free PowerPrep software from ETS, which are indispensable parts of the GRE prep process, and the only sources of real GRE questions (around 1,000 official questions total). So how could this book ever be honestly marketed as “comprehensive?” I understand that there are copyright issues involved, but the least Kaplan could do is to direct students' attention to these essential materials—otherwise it is doing its readers a disservice by making them feel fully prepared for the GRE, when they in fact are not. If acing the GRE were as easy as Kaplan makes it seem, then everyone would do it. The fact is that to maximize your score, you need to put in hard work and practice with real GRE questions.Why are the GRE Official Guides the very best place to start your GRE preparation, other than the free PowerPrep software? Because the questions in these books are super-realistic. They are just like the questions on the real GRE, because these books are written by the test-maker and use actual GRE questions. Don't waste your time and money practicing on questions made by any other companies--these are merely inferior imitations of the real thing. If you must use other materials for test strategy and learning, then that's fine, and in most cases necessary, but try your best to stick to official questions whenever possible.Like most Kaplan books shortly after their release, dozens of five-star reviews of this book are sure to quickly appear. I would urge you to read those reviews carefully, and to evaluate your sources of information critically, in order to determine which reviews are written by actual GRE test takers, and which ones are not.Here are my recommendations for GRE practice, strategy, and learning guides that are superior to Kaplan's.1) The free PowerPrep software from ETS, which includes 2 full CATs, a Test Preview Tool, an untimed practice test (same as Test #1), and Extended Time options.2) The Official Guide to the GRE, 3rd edition: The Official Guide to the GRE General Test, Third Edition3) The GRE Super Power Pack, 2nd edition: Official GRE Super Power Pack 2/E (Test Prep)4) Manhattan Prep Strategy Guides: Manhattan Prep GRE Set of 8 Strategy Guides (Manhattan Prep GRE Strategy Guides)5) Manhattan Prep 5-Lb Book of GRE Practice Questions: 5 lb. Book of GRE Practice Problems (Manhattan Prep GRE Strategy Guides)6) Magoosh: GRE Prep by Magoosh7) Barron's: Barron's GRE, 22nd Edition8) McGraw-Hill: McGraw-Hill Education Preparation for the GRE Test 2017 3rd Edition9) Cliff's Notes: CliffsNotes Math Review for Standardized Tests 3rd EditionFor my full list of GRE prep recommendations, google "GRE Action Plan."
