I am taking the GRE to get into a phd program. My field is English. Consequently, I need a great deal of help with math. A faculty member at my university recommended Kaplan.This edition is atrocious. There are printing mistakes galore and math errors so horrendous that even I can pick them out. Vocabulary and verbal section seem ok, but don't trust anything in the quantitative section.I was relying on you, Kaplan. I am now warning every grad student and aspiring grad student I know to avoid your books at all costs.
Kaplan is supposed to be one of the premier standardized test preparation institutions. The GRE 2010 edition is indeed full of errors which hinder studying and this is just sad. Kaplan does not deserve their esteemed reputation if they put out garbage like this. If you are looking for a guide to help you study for the GRE I would go with Princeton Review.
If you value your sanity, please do not buy this book. The math practice section is full of errors: missing zeros, plus signs substituted for equal signs and so on. As a result, questions do not make sense and answers are incorrect. Save yourself the hassle of applying for a refund once you've become as frustrated as me and pick another test prep guide.
First off, I received a 800 Math and 590 Verbal on my GRE (still waiting for my writing scores), which is just fine as I'm going into Electrical Engineering.Why did I buy this? I was looking for a cheap book that would give me some added practice beyond the free material provided by ETS.Did it meet my low expectations of these sorts of books? Yes.How low were my expectations? After buying books like these for the ACT, SAT, some subject tests, and now the GRE I've noticed that they universally have some degree of errors and have varying degrees of correlation with the actual exams themselves. Although annoying at times, the errors really are not that important because you find them easily when you supposedly have an answer wrong but after checking you realise THEY are in fact wrong, generally by only something absurd like an added zero. Who cares! This is supposed to be practice for timing yourself, picking up some test taking tips, and to learn what sorts of dumb mistakes you tend to make. This is NOT supposed to be a source to relearn algebra from scratch or fill out your daytime-television vocabulary. If you're just a little rusty you'll be fine. I found the recommendations generally useful throughout the sections. I can't speak for the writing section though since I only read the beginning to understand the proper perspective and focus to take on it.The correlation between the practice in the book and with the actual exam wasn't perfect, but it was good enough. Make sure you take the ETS's REAL tests to calibrate your expectations and your studying. Overall I would recommend this to a friend.
I wish I had read the reviews BEFORE I bought this book. The math section has so many mistakes, it is really frustrating to try to use it to study. Im sure there are more mistakes than I even know, which makes me wonder if I am learning misinformation. The verbal section is fine, but I havent taken the test yet to see how applicable it is. Bottom Line - If you struggle with math, this book only makes it more confusing!!
This book is simply a waste of money, it is riddled with errors and conflicting advice. After a lot of irritation I finally found the CD will only run if I start my computer in safe mode, apparently it is designed for pre-vista computers! However the biggest problem is that I can spot blatant inaccuracies in the sections I am confident in, so simply cannot trust it with the sections I need help in. All around an inferior product.
I used this book over the period of two months to prepare for my GRE. I got a good GRE score (better than I expected) and I definitely think this book helped me out. I did, however, find a mistake in the book, which was very unnerving. Also, the code inside that was supposed to let me take an online practice test did not work.
I bought the 2009 version. With Windows 7 already announced and Windows Vista a few years old I found out that the companion CD is NOT compatible with ANY version of Windows Vista.If you have a new computer do NOT get this book, the CD will be worthless to you and there is no way to get it to work that I can find.
