<p>I went to Barnes & Noble and found a bunch… anyone have a favorite? Do the CD’s help? These are, so far, my options…</p>
<li><p>Barron’s How to Prepare for the GRE Test: Graduate Record Examination; 2003</p></li>
<li><p>Cracking the GRE 2005 (by the Princeton Review); 2004</p></li>
<li><p>Practicing to Take the GRE (by ETS); 10th Ed.</p></li>
<li><p>Kaplan GRE Exam 2005: With CD-ROM; 2004</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Do you think it’ll be sufficient just with study guides or do the classes (like Kaplan and Princeton Review) actually help? I remember I didn’t get much from my SAT prep class…</p>
<p>My personal favorite was a book by Princeton Review...
I highly, highly, highly recommend their books... excellent advice throughout...
not just on content, but real practical test-taking strategies.
Plus, I bought a bunch of official old tests...
But this was about 10 years ago (pre-computer testing)...
I studied for a couple months... got 740V, 800M, 800A.</p>
<p>I highly recommend Princeton Review as well. Their CD is very useful because when you got the results, you know which sections (geometry, etc) you had more mistakes. Also, you can download official tests from the GRE webpage.
Barron's is also very good, but mainly for the verbal part. I got 560V, 750M and 5.5A, but I am not a native speaker and I have never lived in the US.</p>
